Karatantcheva in hot waters

Published January 29, 2008

SOFIA, Jan 28: Bulgaria’s tennis federation has threatened to fine Sesil Karatantcheva for refusing to play in a Fed Cup zonal event in Budapest this week.

Captain Dora Rangelova picked Karatantcheva for matches in Hungary but the 18-year-old said she wanted to be left out to concentrate on getting points for her world ranking.

Karatantcheva has just returned to the court after serving a two-year doping ban, winning an ITF tournament in Arizona last week.—Reuters
