Russian Fed Cup captain Shamil Tarpishchev takes issue with the court that will be used in this weekend's semifinal against Serbia at Moscow’s Megasport Arena. Organizers laid the temporary court on top of an ice rink. "I'm not happy with the surface," Tarpishchev told reporters. "The difficulties came from the fact that it was put on ice. The clay crumbles. Today we have had a meeting, we'll invite experts to improve it somehow…From a professional point of view there were a lot of mistakes in the installation."
