Japan Advances To Playoffs At Fed Cup

Ayumi Morita beat Slovenia's Polona Hercog 3-6, 7-6 (6), 6-1 on Sunday as Japan advanced to the Fed Cup World Group playoffs.

Morita recovered from a sluggish start in the first set to give Japan an insurmountable 3-0 lead after Sunday's first reverse singles match.

Hercog experienced pain in her neck during the second set tiebreak and won only six points in the next five games as Morita streaked to a 5-0 lead in the final set.
