Austria loss means Britain’s Fed Cup promotion hopes are over?

Question

Does Britain’s loss against Austria in the Europe/Africa Zone 1 round robin group end the team’s hopes of promotion for next year’s Fed Cup?

Answer 1

With Belarus to come – and that means facing top 10 player Victoria Azarenka – Britain are almost certain not to finish at the top of their round robin group, so chances are they’ll remain in the Europe/Africa Zone Group 1 for another year.
