Fed Cup: Italy routs Williams-less US
Italy clinched its second Fed Cup title in four years when Flavia
Pennetta beat Melanie Oudin, 7-5, 6-2, in Reggio Calabria.
Pennetta's victory gave the experienced Italians an insurmountable 3-
0 lead over a young US team - missing Venus and Serena Williams, who
decided not to play - in the five-match series on an outdoor clay
court. The United States has won a record 17 Fed Cups, but none
since 2000 . . . Top-ranked Roger Federer lost his hometown
tournament, falling, 6-4, 4-6, 6-2, to Novak Djokovic at the Swiss
Indoors final in Basel.
