Watson & Robson in Fed Cup team

British tennis players Heather Watson and Laura Robson, Anne Keothavong and Johanna Konta will represent Great Britain in the Europe/Africa Zone Group 1 section of the Fed Cup in Israel.

The Fed Cup will take place between 6th-9th February in Eilat, Israel. The event takes place every where and features the world's top players.

Elena Baltacha, former British No.1, is still recovering from a foot injury and will join the team as a non-playing member. Baltacha is expected to return to a playing role when she has fully recovered from her injury.

The Great Britain side which is led by Judy Murray made the World Group II play-off last season before losing to Sweden.

"Last year's Fed Cup was a great experience for all of us and we came close to securing a place in the World Group for the first time since 1995," said Murray, mother of British men's number one Andy.

"Heather and Laura have pushed themselves up into the top 50 in the WTA rankings this year and they will have a wonderfully experienced back-up in Anne and Elena who have 22 Fed Cups between them.

"We have a great squad and we will be aiming to put ourselves in World Group contention once again."
