Tough task ahead for Thai team

[TENNIS] Thailand faces a Herculean task in their Fed Cup World Group II tie against the Czech Republic next year as newly-crowned Thailand Open champion Nicole Vaidisova will spearhead the opposing team. The teenage prodigy, who upset world No 9 Nadia Petrova to win the first Thailand Open and complete a hat-trick of titles after victories in Seoul and Tokyo, said she would come back to Thailand next April to represent her country. “Of course I would love to come and play in the Fed Cup. Playing for your country is a pride,’’ said the 16-year-old, who moves to a career high of 17 this week in the WTA rankings.
