Puerto Rico up next
for RI in Fed Cup

JAKARTA: Indonesia will play Puerto Rico away in the Fed Cup
World Group II playoffs in July, according to the draw made in
London on Tuesday.

Former world top 20 player Yayuk Basuki said Indonesia "got
lucky", for other countries in the Group II playoffs, such as
China, Japan, Thailand and the Slovak Republic, would prove
tougher opponents

"This is a good opportunity to beat them. The best known
player they have is Kristina Brandi (ranked 86), who does not
play a very aggressive game and she's been injured a lot, too."

Yayuk said she believed the Puerto Ricans would probably
choose to play the July 9-10 tie on clay to give them a better
chance against the visitors.

Puerto Rico advanced to World Group II from the Americas Zonal
Group, beating Canada, in late April. Indonesia lost 1-4 to
Germany.

Winners secure a place in the 2006 World Group II, losers to
compete in Zonal Group I. -- JP
