Serena, the world’s number one player, defeated Sofia Arvidsson 6-2 and 6-1 on Sunday, giving the American side a 2-1 lead. That win set up the opportunity for Venus to clinch the victory for Team USA. Venus defeated Johanna Larsson 6-3 and 7-5 to take a 3-1 lead and ultimately advance Team USA to the Fed Cup World Group.

The US team will now compete in the World Group quarterfinals next February. For more information on the Fed Cup visit www.usta.com/Pro-Tennis/Fed-Cup/FedCup/.
