“It's an amazing feeling,” Kuznetsova said. “Even though I wasn't playing my best game, it's so important for me to win this point for the team.” Russia would win its fourth Fed Cup title in five years and defeat Spain after Svetlana Kuznetsova beat Anabel Medina Garrigues 5-7, 6-3, 6-4 to seal the nation versus nation team win. The Russian team reached 4-0 when Elena Vesnina and Ekaterina Makarova beat Nuria Llagostera Vives and Carla Suarez Navarro of Spain 6-2, 6-1 in doubles. On the clay in Madrid Kuznetsova appeared at home, hitting power groundstokes as she went ahead 5-0 before dropping set one, but then regrouping for the win. “It's an amazing feeling,” Kuznetsova said. “Even though I wasn't playing my best game, it's so important for me to win this point for the team.” “I gave her a chance to get back,” she said. “I started to play a little bit of baseline tennis against her game. I felt so much more energy. I knew my fitness was better.” Kuznetsova reached the French Open final in 2006 and won the US Open in 2004. She reached a career high ranking of number two in September of 2007.
