China suffers Cup nightmare

China was rudely woken from it's Fed Cup dream yesterday by Spain, falling 4-1 at the Beijing International Tennis center.

Without top star Li Na, who had knee surgery in Germany last week, the host team was no match for five-time champion Spain as it lost three consecutive matches without winning a single set.

World No 68 Peng Shuai bowed to Nuria Llagostera Vives 6-4, 6-4 in one hour and 34 minutes yesterday. Peng and Zheng Jie were both smashed in straight-sets on Saturday.
