"Here's what Marc Wickmayer, father of Belgian player Yanina, said in February as his daughter headed off to Poland to play Fed Cup on a Belgian team bereft of Kim Clijsters and Justine Henin.

"Why would I be mad? Each is free to make his choices. Maybe Yanina, in the coming years, might in turn take a pass on Fed Cup. In Poland, she will accept her responsibilities. And if, one day, Kim and Justine return to the team, she will accept the fact of maybe finding herself on the bench. She has always supported her country and will continue to do so."

Fast forward about a month, and suddenly Clijsters and Henin are, in fact, prepared to play a World Group II playoff tie in Hasselt, Belgium at the end of April. The other two players selected were Wickmayer and Clijsters's good pal Kirsten Flipkens.

Suddenly, the previously rather reasonable-sounding tennis father goes off."
