In second round Russia beat Luxembourg by three matches to one with NI Xialian the only winner in opposite side. She overcame Anna TIKHOMIROVA in the opening match of the fixture.

 “We did not expect such a good start but it seems that the whole team is in right shape. Yesterday I beat li Qian and usually I don’t play that well against defenders I tried to play safe; I played well at the recent Czech Open and that has boosted my confidence but I think as whole we are in good shape Yana NOSKOVA and Anna TIKHOMIROVA are playing well.”
