Italy takes 1-0 lead

REGGIO CALABRIA (Italy): Flavia Pennetta beat Alexa Glatch 6-3, 6-1 on Saturday to give Italy a 1-0 lead over the United States in the Fed Cup final.

The second singles rubber between Melanie Oudin of U.S. and Francesca Schiavone was suspended because of heavy rain with the American leading 4-2 in the first set.

The 11th-ranked Pennetta used her consistent baseline game to wear down the 132nd-ranked Glatch, breaking early in the first set to set the tone, then cruising in the second set.

Glatch managed to break Pennetta in the opening game of the second set but then the Italian took control.

The results:

Italy 1 U.S. 0 (Flavia Pennetta beat Alexa Glatch 6-3, 6-1). — AP
