This is why we play, moments like these, and these moments we can remember forever.”Kenin and Mattek-Sands teamed up for a 6-4, 6-0 doubles victory over Jelena Ostapenko and Anastasija Sevastova to give the US a 3-2 win over Latvia in their Fed Cup qualifying match. Kenin took the place of Alison Riske in the doubles, her third match in barely 24 hours. “The last match of the day, you don’t know if it’s going to count for something or if it’s all coming down to it,” Mattek-Sands said. Spain swept Japan aside 3-1, while Switzerland beat Canada, Belgium beat Kazakhstan and Slovakia beat Britain, all 3-1. They join already-qualified Australia, France, the Czech Republic and Hungary in the 12-team finals in Budapest in April.
