The Optus Australian Junior Davis and Junior Fed Cup teams continued their winning form today against the toughest opposition so far.

On the final day of the round-robin, the No.7 seeded Optus Australian Junior Fed Cup team staged a fantastic 2-1 win over No.2 seeds China. The girls got off to a shaky start when China's Hao-Chen Tang defeated Molly Polak 6-0 6-3. Australia's No.1, Viktorija Rajicic, then came back strongly and leveled the tie with a brilliant 7-5 6-4 win against China's Sai-Sai Zeng, the world No.5 ranked girl in her age group.

Rajicic, who is still overcoming a hand injury, then teamed with Alexandra Nancarrow to seal the tie with a 6-3 6-3 win in the doubles.

When asked about how she felt about upsetting the No.2 seeded team, Optus Australian Junior Fed Cup captain, Alicia Molik said, "I dont know if it was an upset today, because I always thought Vicky had the game to beat the Chinese number one. I knew she was a tough player, but Chris [Mahony, team coach] and I came up with a game plan that we knew Vicky could execute, and all credit to her, she played really well.

"The Chinese were a very, very tough [doubles] pair and there were a few specific things we needed the girls to do and to execute - take their time, look confident, look upbeat - and they did for the entire match, and that was a very important factor in today's win," Molik continued.

On her inspiring win today 15-year-old Viktorija Rajicic said, "I'm getting used to the grass, I'm playing a lot better, using my attacking game, and learning how to come in [to the net]. I love playing people that are older than me, it's a good experience, especially when you beat them, like I did today, it felt great! Alicia's been telling me to stay on my toes a lot, and she's been great."

Tomorrow the girls will meet No.8 seeds Korea in the quarterfinals, the first day of knockout competition. A win will see the girls secure a spot in the final four and progress to the Junior Fed Cup final in Mexico in September.

Optus Australian Junior Davis Cup captain Pat Rafter had a nervous start to the day, with a see-sawing opening rubber in which Australia's Joey Swaysland and Japan's Shoki Hachiya were locked in a battle of top quality tennis. Swaysland was eventually overcome by Hachiya 3-6 6-7 5-7 in the two and a half hour marathon, putting Australia's No.1, Luke Saville under pressure in the second rubber.

Saville rose to the occasion, evening the score with a 7-5 7-6 win over Motoaki Kita. He teamed with Swaysland and they sealed the tie in commanding fashion, winning 6-3 6-1 over Kita and Hachiya.

In tomorrows quarterfinals the boys are up against unseeded team Hong Kong, who defeated No.7 seeds the Philippines in an upset today.

"I'm really proud of how well both boys played today," Pat Rafter said. "Joey played a fantastic match, and although he didn't manage to pull off a win, he played some great tennis and showed a lot of grit out there against a quality opponent. He will have learnt some valuable lessons today and will be a better player for it. As for Luke, well he played a great game and showed a lot of composure. It's pretty tough going out there, having all the pressure on your shoulders, representing your country, but he really pulled it off. It was also great to see both boys do so well in the doubles - they really dominated and didn't give the opposition much of a chance.

"It will be interesting to see how we go against Hong Kong tomorrow. I know on paper it looks favourable for us, but as we have seen before, results can be unpredictable when you are playing as a team."
