Monica Seles plans to defend her Australian Open title in January despite her shoulder injury which forced her out of the Komercni Banka Open event on Wednesday.

Britain avoided relegation from the Champions' Division by beating Slovakia 2-0 in the European Men's Team Championship at Reggio Calabria, Italy, yesterday. Andrew Richardson, the Lincolnshire left-hander, beat Tomas Catar 6-4, 6-1 in the opening rubber. Then Danny Sapsford, the British No 4 from Weybridge, clinched victory by defeating Martin Hromec 6-3, 7-6 in the top singles match.
