Sunday marks the Italy versus Russia match of the Fed Cup Semi-Final with great matches happening all day long. The action begins Saturday, April 25^th at 10:00. Castellaneta, Italy will be the city hosting the match, and this match may hold a few surprises for fans.

Surprising everyone in the Tennis world, Dinara Safina, owner of the current world champion title, was left off the team list for the Russian Fed Cup Team. Instead, Vera Zvonareva, Svetlana Kuznetsova, Nadia Petrova, and Anna Chakvetadze will be competing. The Russian Team captain is Shamil Tarpischev. Zvonareva may beg out with an ankle injury she sustained recently, but it's anyone's guess at this point.

Russia has a history of being victorious in the Fed Cup, but in 2006 Italy broke up their winning streak with their own victory. They'll be bringing Flavia Pennetta, Francesca Schiavone, Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci, with Corrado Barazzutti captaining the team, to the Fed Cup on Saturday.

The match will be held at Castellineta Marina, in southern Italy. 

Other matches on the same day include France and Slovakia, Ukraine and Argentina and the US visiting the Czech Republic, all in the hopes of claiming the Fed Cup for 2009.
