Asked if Castlegar is being considered as the site, she replied: “I wouldn't want to say right now The BCGA will discuss next year's tournament at a meeting in September, she said Castlegar last hosted the amateur corded as three hours, due to rain delays.

Navratilova may not play WEST VANCOUVER (CP) — The major powers of women’s tennis have an opportunity to rest or practise today when the 25th Federation Cup team competition begins at Hollyburn Country Club with 10 preliminary round matches. The eight seeded nations, led by the defending champion United States, and 14 other countries begin play Monday and Tuesday in the main draw of 32. The host Canadians, unseeded this year after losing in the second round in 1986 at Prague, play Monday against the Netherlands, the same opponent as last year when Canada won 2-1 on the strength of victory in the doubles. The Americans don't play until Tuesday when they face Japan and the breathing space may allow Martina Navratilova, the No. 1-ranked player in the world, sufficient time to recover from an ankle injury Navratilova suffered an ankle sprain last week while playing basketball and her status remained doubtful when the Americans and team manager Marty Riessen arrived Saturday. Second-seeded Czechoslovakia, beaten in the 1986 final by the U.S. to end a string of three Federation Cup successes, plays Monday against Sweden, while the third-seeded West Germans and star attraction Steffi Graf face Hong Kong the same day SISTER ACT Bulgaria, seeded fourth on the strength of sisters Manuela and Katerina Maleeva, plays Tuesday against Greece. The competition takes place on hardcourts which should help the Canadians in their bid to beat the Netherlands for a second time. So should the home crowd; more than 50,000 tickets e been sold for the eight-day affair. “It's kind of unusual being in the spotlight like this,” said Canadian doubles specialist Jill Hetherington, 23, of St. Catharines, Ont. “We usually play in foreign countries where the attention is on players from the U.S., or West Germany, or Czechoslovakia.” Canada's hopes are pinned on singles players Helen Kelesi, 17, and Carling Bassett, 19, both of Toronto, Hetherington and the fourth team member, Jan Young, 21, of Waterloo Ont. Team manager Wendy Pattenden will use Kelesi, ranked 34th in the world, and Bassett in the singles against Dutch stars Marcella Mesker and Jarianne van der Torre. Hetherington and Bassett will be partnered in the doubles. The Federation Cup matches are best-of-three affairs, with the No. 2 singles players from each country playing. then the No. 1s and finally the doubles match. CROWD FAVORITES “It's kind of a special feeling here because we'll get so much support from the crowd,” said Kelesi. “There will be people cheering for us and you play better when the crowd's behind you.” Canada was seeded fourth last year in Prague, but after defeating the Netherlands, lost to unseeded Austria in the second round There is $325,000 US in prize money available in the Federation Cup, sponsored primarily by the NEC Corp. of Japan, with $80,000 for the winner and half that to the runnerup. Should Canada advance past the first round, the host nation likely would then meet the Soviet Union, seeded eighth this year. That winner probably would face second-seeded Czechoslovakia, led by Hana Mandlikova and Helena Sukova, in the quarter-finals. Today's preliminary round will determine the 10 nations to advance into the main drew of 32. The preliminary round features China against Chile, Ireland against China-Taipei, Finland against Indonesia, Thailand against Jamaica, Denmark against Luxembourg
