The semi finals of the Fed Cup in Ostrava and Brisbane this past weekend, and it seemed as though the countries involved were able to have a bit of fun in the process. The Czech Republic, Italy, Australia and Germany, took to Twitter to let the world know that they have a bit of personality off the court.
It’s always interesting to get an inside look in the dynamic and chemistry of particular teams, and Twitter makes that possible. Who you think will score high on the fun barometer and win, at least, this competition?
Czech Republic
With the home court advantage against Italy this weekend the Czech Team, unfortunately, did not exactly light Twitter ablaze. We were glad to find Petra Kvitova as the sole active player of the team tweeting about the #FedCup.

Kvitova may have just foreshadowed the latest to come in hat fashion world. Out of the way Pharrell!

Italy
The Italian team definitely got on Twitter to show some national pride, as evidence through Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci. Even though they’re a fiery bunch, Italian ladies know how to enjoy life.
Sara Errani
What is going on in this picture, Sara. But I like it.

Roberta Vinci
Nothing says team unity like all going out to dinner in the exact same outfit. Forza Italia, looks like they’ve got some awesome team spirit.

Australia
Casey Dellacqua
Who doesn’t like Koalas? Australian is hoping their mascots bring them a bit of good luck.

Germany
Germany is all about Tweeting it seems. To be honest, I’m not even sure they had time to practice this weekend.
Angelique Kerber
Step your game up Germany. Australia showed you up with their mascot. It should at least be alive.

It looks like Italy has some serious competition on the selfie/goofiness scale.

Petkovic knows how to have a good time (She’s a must follow on Twitter) and this selfie only reiterates that point.

Julia Goerges
It looks like the Germans have now stolen and stuffed the Australian’s mascots. Grim stuff.
