Colombia crash out of Fed Cup

Fed Cup

Colombia's ladies tennis team crashed out of the Fed Cup, after their defeat to Argentina in the Americas Group One play-off Saturday.

Both Colombian players lost their singles matches, with Catalina Castaño defeated by Paula Ormaechea [6-2, 6-4] and Mariana Duque overcome by Florence Miller, despite winning the first set [3-6, 6-2, 6-1].

The result means that Argentina advance to the World Group Two play-offs in April.

Colombia had previously won all four of their match-ups in Americas Group One Pool B and stand one place above Argentina in the Fed Cup rankings, however they came up against an in-form team which had swept through Pool A without losing a match.
