History of the Australia Fed Cup team : ウィキペディア英語版 | History of the Australia Fed Cup team The history of the Australia Fed Cup team dates back to the first ever Federation Cup in 1963 ==1963–1971: Early dominance== Australia was one of sixteen nations that competed in the first Fed Cup competition in 1963, at Queen's Club in London. The first team consisted of doubles and singles Grand Slam winner and World No. 1 Margaret Smith, Australian Open singles finalist and doubles winner Jan O'Neill,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Jan O'Niell (Lehane) Results Archive )〕 and multi-Grand Slam winner Lesley Turner. It was also captained by Nell Hall Hopman, who was also a major tennis player and one of the key campaigners for the tournament's introduction. As a result of their eminent team, the Australians were able to defeat the Belgians, Hungarians and South Africans all without losing a rubber to reach the final against the United States.〔 In the final, Smith defeated multi-Grand Slam winner Darlene Hard in straight sets, 6–0, 6–3, to win the first rubber.〔 However, Turner was unable to beat doubles Grand Slam champion Billie Jean Moffitt, and Smith and Turner were defeated in doubles by Moffitt and Hard,〔 meaning the Americans won their first tournament. However, the Australians were able to enact their revenge by defeating the Americans and winning the next two titles at Philadelphia in 1964 and Melbourne in 1965.〔 However, Smith retired before the 1966 tournament to marry Barry Court and start a family. This meant that the team, without the services of their most prolific player, was unable to reach the final of the next two tournaments: losing to West Germany in 1966 and Great Britain in 1967. However, Court returned to tennis and the Fed Cup team in 1968〔 where she, with the sole assistance of top 10 player and doubles Grand Slam winner Kerry Melville, was able to win the Cup while only dropping one rubber to South Africa.〔 Their form continued to 1969; with the addition of Wimbledon finalist and multiple doubles Grand Slam winner Judy Tegart,〔 they were able to reach the final against the United States. Though they lost 1–2,〔 Tegart teamed up with doubles Grand Slam champion Karen Krantzcke〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Karen Krantzcke )〕 to win the 1970 tournament, while Court teamed up with Lesley Hunt and then up-and-coming player Evonne Goolagong to win the 1971 Federation Cup on Australian soil without losing a rubber.〔 This meant that Australia had surpassed the United States to hold the record at that time for most Fed Cup titles, with five.〔
