Italy and Russia are the two most successful Fed Cup nations in the 21st century, winning seven titles between them since 2000. Italy is making its fifth appearance in the Fed Cup Final, having won the title on three occasions, in 2006 and 2009-10. Russia is contesting its sixth final in the last ten years, having won four titles, in 2004-05 and 2007-08.
