Australia's Federation Cup team face a tough fight to avoid joining their Davis Cup counterparts in isolation from the world group.
If the Aussie gals fail to beat Russia it will be the third year in successio that they have failed at the first hurdle.
Who would have thought that a country with such a rich history in tennis could fall so far?
