Serena getting along well with Fernandez

Serena Williams says that she and U.S. Fed Cup captain Mary Joe Fernandez are getting along well. Williams won her singles match to help stake the USA to a 2-0 lead over host Ukraine today. Williams made her first Fed Cup appearance in five years in a winning effort vs. Belarus in a February tie in Worcester, Mass. It was her first tie playing for Fernandez.

"It’s been a while since I played Fed Cup and playing in Worcester, it was good for me get to know Mary more and her to get to know me as a player more," Serena told Fedcup.com. "I feel we have much better chemistry this time around. I want to keep this up. It’s good practice for me and to have different views is really good."
