导出博客文章STRASBOURG, France -- Czech Republic cemented its status of best team in the world by retaining its Fed Cup title on Sunday after Barbora Strycova and Karolina Pliskova won the decisive doubles match in the final against France.The pair beat Caroline Garcia and Kristina Mladenovic 7-5, 7-5 to secure a 3-2 win for the Czechs on the indoor hard court at Rhenus Sport Arena.The Czechs won a fifth title in six years, their 10th overall, and became the first team to win three consecutive Fed Cups since Spain from 1993-95. The Czech Republic has been the dominant team of the decade, winning 16 of its last 17 ties dating back to 2010.Their skipper, Petr Pala, is now the most successful captain in the competitions history with five titles to his name.Our secret? Just fighting on every point, fighting until the end, said Strycova, who also clinched the decisive rubber with Pliskova in last years final against Russia.Its a wonderful day. It was not easy, thats why we are so happy, Pliskova said, while the French players wiped away their tears.Strycova was the decisive player on Sunday. Before her impressive display in the doubles, she replaced the injured Petra Kvitova at the last minute to defeat Alize Cornet 6-2, 7-6 (4) and keep the defending champions alive in the final.Caroline Garcia had earlier given France a 2-1 lead with a 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 win over sixth-ranked Pliskova.After overpowering Cornet with her mix of deep groundstrokes, slices and rushes to the net, Strycova inspired the Czechs to victory in the doubles with her aggressive tennis.The first set saw both teams perform well, with excellent net play from the Czechs, who made a decisive break in the 11th game after Mladenovic double-faulted to hand Pliskova and Strycova two break points. The Czechs needed only one as Pliskova fired a return on the baseline that Mladenovic could not handle.The French reacted immediately by putting pressure on Pliskovas serve early in the second set with sharp returns but failed to convert two break points. They continued with the same strategy on Strycovas serve, but again wasted two break points.The Czechs were more clinical and made the most of Mladenovics energy dip. They broke in the next game for a 3-2 lead after Strycova hit a difficult backhand overhead winner. Mladenovic and Garcia did not give up and managed to break Strycovas serve to level at 4-4 after Garcia hit a stunning forehand down the line.But the change of momentum didnt last long. Mladenovic dropped her serve after Pliskova kneeled at the net to perfectly handle a passing shot and produce a stunning drop volley on break point. The French duo saved a match point but could not prevent Pliskova from sealing the match on the next one.Kvitova could not play today, we did not have many options, but Strycova played really well, Pala said. The girls never give up, like the French, but there is only one winner.

As Australia continues to digest another Olympics Games without a mens basketball medal, Boomers guard Kevin Lisch believes the campaign was still a resounding success.With six of Australias 12-man squad boasting NBA experience, including Matthew Dellavedova,?Andrew Bogut and Patty Mills, much was expected?from the Boomers in Rio, despite never previously?winning an Olympic medal of any colour.The bar was raised even higher when a strong performance against Team USA was followed by a dominant victory over Lithuania, but a shock semi-final defeat by Serbia left the nation deflated before pride was regained with their efforts against Spain in the bronze medal game.Lisch insists the experience delivered more boom than gloom for Australia.Obviously wed like to have that game against Serbia again, Lisch told ESPN.They really pushed us physically and we went away from what was working for us.Looking back at our campaign -- out of the eight games or so -- we really only had one bad game, and that was against Serbia.We left it all out there on the court and sure, wed like to have that one again, but they played great and that happens in sport.American-born Lisch became a naturalised Australian only five months before the Rio Games, and he is philosophical about his adopted countrys Olympic campaign.Lisch believes the Boomers were beaten by quality opposition rather than the weight of expectation, and he says the experience will make him and the national team stronger.Obviously the way we lost the Serbia game was hard, and I think the Spain game was really tough because we had our chances, he said.You just have to move on from those things and it was unfortunate not to come home wwith a medal, but we competed at a very high level against Spain.ddddddddddddIts been suggested the level of officiating in the game against Spain wasnt of a similarly high level, but Lisch has already come to terms with one particular controversial and costly late call.Leading by one point with little more than five seconds to play, a blocking foul was ruled against Patty Mills; Sergio Rodriguez stepped up to the free-throw line and Australias 88-87 lead became an 89-88 Spain victory.People talk about the calls at the end but that is the nature of sport, and thats why its a beautiful game, Lisch said.It was tough but they always say one bad call doesnt make a game and I believe that.If you over-analyse the specific situations youd just go crazy so you need to let it go.The Boomers left another Olympic Games without winning a medal, but Lisch says they did win a greater level of respect from in international basketball.The rest of the world saw what we were doing, Lisch told ESPN.We were probably playing some of the best basketball in the world at certain times so I think if we can just be a little more consistent with that then theres no saying how far we can go.But at 30-years-old, it is uncertain how long Lisch has to go.He will start his first year of a three-year deal with the Sydney Kings in the NBL, but is non-committal when asked if the Tokyo Olympics are in his plans.Gee, I dont know. I have no idea where Ill be tomorrow, Lisch said.* The Sydney Kings open their NBL season against the Brisbane Bullets on October 8 at Qudos Bank Arena.
