Aussies have belief in team

CONFIDENCE is high in the Australian team that they can turn the tables on Ukraine in this weekend’s Fed Cup tie, even without absent veteran Samantha Stosur.

Stosur, Australia’s record holder for most singles wins in Fed Cup, was again unavailable as she works to regain top form.

Australian No. 1 Ashleigh Barty said that the group was good enough to beat Ukraine in Canberra on February 10 and 11, with or without Stosur.
