The USA won its first Fed Cup title since 2000 and 18th title overall by defeating Belarus 3-2 in an exciting fifth-and-decisive doubles rubber on Sunday in the 2017 World Group final in Minsk.
American No.1 Coco Vandeweghe defeated Belarus No.1 Aryna Sabalenka 7-6(5) 6-1 to become the first player from her country, since the World Group format was instituted in 1995, to win all six Fed Cup singles matches in one year, as well as the first player to win the maximum number of Fed Cup singles rubbers in a year since Petra Kvitova in 2011.
