Britain made it two wins out of two in their Fed Cup campaign by beating Netherlands 3-0 in Tallinn.

TENNIS - British number three Elena Baltacha - 0

The British team are yet to drop a set in Europe/Africa zone Group 1. They will face Luxembourg, who have lost both of their ties thus far, on Friday in their final group game.

Elena Baltacha (pictured) continued her impressive run with a 6-2 6-4 victory over Michelle Gerards, before British number one Anne Keothavong defeated Arantxa Rus.

The win was made emphatic when the pairing of Melanie South and Sarah Borwell swept aside Nicole Thyssen and Pauline Wong 6-4 6-0.

Team captain Nigel Sears said: "It was really important to back up yesterday's win over Hungary with another good result today and I'm pleased with another emphatic victory.

"It's a good feeling to be leading the group after two days but we know we still have work to do if we are going to top the group and gain a place in the semi-finals. The team is in great shape and we are looking forward to tomorrow's match against Luxembourg."

Only two of the 15 teams in Estonia will advance to the World Group II play-offs in April.
