2009 Helvetie Cup - 16 & Under Girls

Russia has won the Helvetie Cup for the second time after wrapping up a 2-1 win over Slovak Republic on the final day in Leysin (SUI).

Ksenia Kirillova put the unseeded Russians ahead with a 75 64 win over Vivien Juhaszova in the first match. The Slovaks had recovered from the loss of their first rubber in both of their previous final round ties, but were unable to repeat the trick as Daria Gavrilova swept to a routine 64 63 win over Jana Cepelova to clinch the tie. Cepelova then teamed with Chantal Skamlova to score a consolation doubles victory over Gavrilova and Polina Leykina.

The win caps a productive fortnight for the Russian girls, all of whom reached the semi finals or better at the European Individual Championships in Moscow before teaming up for the Summer Cups.

The competition also serves as the European qualifying for the Junior Fed Cup by BNP Paribas. Germany, Ukraine and Croatia will join Russia and Slovak Republic at the event in Mexico later this year.
