The USTA announced two months ago that Garrison would lead the Olympic team in Beijing. Mary Jo is set to take over as Fed Cup captain next season, although she did work with the squad this year as a coach. Now, again, I don’t know if that has changed, but we’ll know for sure soon when the official roster is released.

I maybe wrong, but I think Mary Jo Fernandez has taken over from Zina. I hope she is treated better by the media than Zina was. And that the Top Players will be there when needed. The US still needs to keep bringing the youngsters in though, and if Harkleroad is not that keen, there’s Madison Brengle, Vania King, Ahsha and Angela. Even young Melanie Oudin.
