Belgium pretty much doesn't stand a chance... with the resurgent Williams sisters, the talented Vania King, and the veteran Lisa Raymond, they should overwhelm Belgium. I would be surprised if Belgium even steals a rubber....

Serena pulled out of the tie with an injury and was replaced by Vania King.

Vania won 4-6, 6-4, 7-5, coming back from a break down in the third. Very Happy
