Former French Open finali­st to play agains­t Switze­rland in World Group II first round clashMILAN: Former French Open finalist Sara Errani was named Wednesday in Italy’s Fed Cup team for their World Group II first round clash against Switzerland after returning from a ten-month doping ban. Errani is eligible to play February 8 and the matches are scheduled for the two following days, February 9-10. The CAS decision followed appeals by the Italian anti-doping agency, which asked for a longer ban, and Errani, who wanted it overturned. Italy Fed Cup captain Tathiana Garbin called up Errani, now ranked 113th, for the tie against Switzerland in Biel. The former four-time Fed Cup winners’ team also includes 27th-ranked Camila Giorgi, Martina Trevisan (170), Jasmine Paolini (199) and Deborah Chiesa (264).
