Keothavong to lead British team in 2009 Fed Cup

British No. 1 Anne Keothavong was chosen to lead the British team at the 2009 Fed Cup, and they will play their first matches in Estonia.

The Brit is now No. 60 in the world, and the team will also include Melanie South, Elena Baltacha and Sarah Borwell.

"It's been a great year for the girls at the top end of the British game," said GB captain Nigel Sears.

"I felt almost spoilt for choice in picking the team to travel to Estonia."

"With Anne Keothavong being ranked 60 in the world and Mel South being right on the edge of the top 100, we are straight away in a stronger position than last year."

Britain lost three of their four ties at the same event in 2008 but avoided relegation with a 2-0 win over Portugal.
