PUBLISHED: 07:00 20 April 2019 Great Britain's Johanna Konta and her team-mates after victory in the Fed Cup at Bath University. PA Wire/PA Images Old wounds came to the surface at the Copper Box on Friday to give an unexpected edge to Great Britain’s Fed Cup play-off against Kazakhstan this weekend. Johanna Konta will open the tie on Saturday against Kazakh number two Zarina Diyas before British number two Katie Boulter takes on Yulia Putintseva.At 38 in the world, Putintseva is the highest-ranked player on either side and has a reputation as one of the feistiest competitors on tour, something that has made her an unpopular opponent for many players.Firmly in that camp, it emerged, is GB captain Anne Keothavong, who played Putintseva once at a low-key event in 2010 when the Kazakh was 15 years old and lost 6-0 7-6.Despite the passage of time, neither has forgotten the occasion, and Keothavong did not mince her words when asked whether her team had focused on that aspect of … [Read more...] about Tennis: GB ready for Kazakhstan Fed Cup test

"We know the South Pole region contains ice and may be rich in other resources based on our observations from orbit, but, otherwise, it's a completely unexplored world.
