Canadian teenager Leylah Annie Fernandez caused a huge shock in the Fed Cup qualifiers on Saturday when she beat Swiss world number five Belinda Bencic in Biel but it proved in vain as Switzerland progressed to April's finals.
It was to be no fairytale comeback though as local favourite Jil Teichmann battled past another Canadian stand-in - doubles specialist Gaby Dabrowski - 6-3 6-4 to wrap up a 3-1 win. Four-times winners Russia edged out Romania in Cluj as Anna Blinkova and Anna Kalinskaya won the deciding doubles rubber against Jaqueline Adina Cristian and Elena Gabriela Ruse.
Slovakia ended Britain's hopes in Bratislava where Heather Watson's win in the third rubber gave the visitors a lifeline but Anna Karolina Schmiedlova battled past Harriet Dart to finish the tie off in favour of the hosts.
