Presumably this comes as little surprise following his appointment to the LTA. PLease would someone explain this role to me, is it the same as the DC Captain for the men? (I know next to nothing about the Fed Cup!) Thanks.

Toronto 25K
(Preview)
Danielle Brown is the 2nd seed in qualifying. She double-bagelled American Subbadharmi Sundaram in her opening match.
A report from a poster on Wtaworld:
Danielle looks like Kim Clijsters. Anyway, she didn't have to do much in this match and to be honest, she got down on her self quite a bit....
