2001 Fed Cup World Group

The World Group was the highest level of competition in the 2001 Fed Cup. For this year, eight teams qualifying from the play-offs were put into two pools of four teams each, with the winner of each pool advancing to the final. The defending champions United States were meant to be an automatic qualifier for the World Group, but they withdrew due to security risks following the September 11 attacks.

First title
gollark: __***P. A. G. I. N. A. T. I. O. N***__
gollark: The lack of ***PAGINATION*** is horrible.
gollark: You know, if we still had get-thing-from-AP-by-code, it'd be a very convenient storage space.
gollark: Maybe it's influenced to the CB gender?
gollark: They mean it's a hatchling of a release so new it doesn't exist - they have "influenced" in the egg description, so it's like with the truffles/muskies.
