MOSCOW (Reuters): Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova has capped a memorable season on the WTA Tour by leading the Czech Republic to their first Fed Cup title as an independent nation.
Kvitova won both of her singles matches at Moscow's Olympic indoor arena at the weekend to help the Czechs clinch a 3-2 victory over favourites Russia. It was the country's first title since they split from Slovakia in 1993. Their last triumph came when, playing as Czechoslovakia, they beat the former Soviet Union in the 1988 final.
