Switzerland brings strong team for Federation Cup semifinals versus Belarus

17 апреля 2017

The Swiss team landed at Minsk National Airport. The team’s key player, Martina Hingis is arriving tomorrow.

Heinz Günthardt, the team’s captain, is aware of the recent victories of Alexandra Sasnovich and Olga Govortsova, though. He remarked that the victories come as no surprise – these are talented athletes, and they’ve already shown their top game many times, including at the Fed Cup matches. However, Heinz Günthardt hopes his team will be just as successful.

The Belarus vs Switzerland Federation Cup semifinals are scheduled for this week-end and will take place at Chizhovka-Arena.

The Belarusian team lists Olga Govortsova, Alexandra Sasnovich, Arina Sobolenko, and Vera Lapko.

Last week, Alexandra Sasnovich reached Biel’s semifinals, which helped her rise in the WTA Ranking from 108 to 96.

Olga Govortsova made the most significant progress and went 43 steps up. Last week, she won the Indian Harbour Beach.
