Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko Serena Williams te rangatira o te taumata i kaha ki te wero i te huinga whakatuwhera mo te 7-6 (5), 6-2 toa i runga i a Camila Giorgi i te Rahoroi kia eke ai te United States ki te 1-0 ki Itari i te whiringa toa o te Fed Cup World Group. Kaore tetahi o nga kaitakaro i pakaru i roto i te whakataetae whakataetae tuatahi, i whakatauhia i te wa i tapahia ai e Giorgi te tihi o te kupenga i te waahi tuatahi a Williams. I pai ake a Williams ki te 19-0 i tenei tau me te 15-0 mo tana mahi i te Fed Cup. Ko te koha anake i runga i te rekoata a Williams i tenei tau i puta mai i tana wehenga i mua o te semifinals o Indian Wells i te marama kua hipa me te whara o te turi. Na Serena Williams i ārahi te USA ki Itari me te wikitoria tuatahi i te Fed Cup. Ko te toa toa o te ao e ringihia ana te ringaringa ki te rangatira o US a Mary Joe Fernandez i muri i tana whakatakoto i a USA ki mua. Ko te tukinga tuarua i roto i te raupapa pai-o-rima e whakaatu ana i te 57th-rangatira American Lauren Davis e takaro ana ki te Nama 15 a Sara Errani. Ka hoki te toa ki te Rōpū o te Ao, ā, ka whakataetae mō te kapa Fed Cup i te tau e whai ake nei, ā, ka heke te toa ki te Rōpū o te Ao II. Ko Giorgi te whiriwhiri ohorere na te rangatira o Corrado Barazzutti mo te waahi tuarua o Itari mo te Flavia Pennetta i whanau mai i Brindisi engari i whakaatu te 23-tau-tawhito i te whakamiharo o te mana, a ka taea e ia te whakataetae ki te mana o Williams i te huinga whakatuwhera. I hinga a Williams i a Camila Giorgi 7-6, 6-2 i runga i te paru i Brindisi, Itari. I whakataurite a Williams i te whiu mo te whiu a Giorgi i te huinga tuatahi i mua i tana wehenga atu i te tuarua. I whakataurite a Giorgi ki a Williams me nga toa 17 i te huinga tuatahi - neke atu i te haora te roa - i te wa i mahi a Williams i nga hapa kore 18 ki te 15 o Giorgi. I te kore e taea te whakaeke i tana keemu, i ahua pouri a Williams, ka karanga tonu ia ki a ia ano "Haere mai!" i roto i te riri riri me te riri o te riri i te wa o te huinga tuatahi. A, i whakatangihia tonutia e ia, mā te whakamahi i te ringa kotahi me tana rākau, i a Giorgi e tuku ana i ngā toa māna. Engari i kaha te tākaro a Williams i te tukinga, kātahi ka eke ki mua i te tīmatanga o te huinga tuarua.
