Bodo o izboru Džudi za britanskog selektora:
Andy Murray's tennis-coach mum Judy is the new Fed Cup captain for Great Britain, which sounds oddly parochial, or just plain lame—or is it desperate? But the reality is that Judy Murray was Scotland's national coach for nine years, she guided the careers of her two sons, Andy and Jamie, and also coached British WTA pro Elena Baltacha. She's got plenty of street cred. The real question here is why Judy or anyone else would want the job. Astonishingly, Britain is one of only four nations to have competed in every Fed Cup competition since its inception in 1963—without winning even once.
That's a remarkable record of futility, given that over that period the British have produced Grand Slam champs including Ann Haydon-Jones and Virginia Wade, and at least one solid Top 5-player in Sue Barker. Great Britain did reach the Fed Cup final four times, most recently in 1988, when Manon Bollegraf and Brenda Schultz-McCarthy won the competition on behalf of Netherlands at Flinder's Park in Australia.
Rumor has it that Judy was considered for the Davis Cup job as well, but British officials were concerned she would go ga-ga on the sidelines during the doubles, should the Brits have to play Spain and their outstanding team of Fernando Verdasco and Feliciano Lopez.
Nisam znala da Britanija baš nijednom nije osvojila ovo
ali kako Felija apsolutno niko ne može da preskoči u ovom kontekstu
