Görges returns to the Fed Cup team

Doha (SID) Tennis world number ten Julia Görges (Bad Oldesloe) will be available again for the German Fed Cup team for the semi-finals against the Czech Republic on April 21st and 22nd. “I’m definitely there,” the 29-year-old told the tennisnet.com portal on the sidelines of the WTA tournament in Doha. Görges, like top ten player Angelique Kerber (Kiel), had a break in the first round of the Fed Cup. "I think anyone who knows me well knows that I really enjoy playing for my country in the Fed Cup. That's always something special," said Görges. At the weekend, the selection of the German Tennis Federation (DTB) surprisingly defeated last year's finalists Belarus 3-2 in Minsk. The new team captain Jens Gerlach will probably be able to rely on Kerber again against the ten-time title holders. Barbara Rittner, Head of Women's Tennis at the DTB, told the SID on Monday. "I'm very sure. Angie and Julia only canceled participation in the first game," said Rittner. Görges is in the second round of the $3,173 million tournament in Qatar after a 6:1, 7:5 against Czech Lucie Safarova, as is Carina Witthöft. The 22-year-old from Hamburg surprisingly had the upper hand in the German duel with Fed Cup player Tatjana Maria 6:3, 6:0.
