OSTRAVA, Czech Republic -- The Czech Republic has reached the Fed Cup final by defeating defending champion Italy after Petra Kvitova won the first reverse singles on Sunday. Sixth-ranked Kvitova beat Roberta Vinci 6-3, 7-5 for an unbeatable 3-0 lead in the semifinals. The remaining doubles cant change the overall result. The Czechs face Germany in the final in November at home. "It will be great to play the final at home," Kvitova said. "We have an excellent team, its not just about one player." Its the third final for the Czechs in four years after they claimed the Fed Cup title in 2011 and 12 and won nine of the last 10 Fed Cup ties, losing only to Italy in last years semis. Vinci replaced Sara Errani -- who was originally named for the match -- and had a 2-1 record against Kvitova after beating her twice last year on clay. But on a fast indoor hard-court at the CEZ Arena, Kvitova sealed the victory on her second match point with an ace. "Its an advantage for me that Ive improved my serve," Kvitova said. Vinci came back twice in the second set after losing her serve in the first and seventh games before the Czech converted her fourth break point to go 6-5 up before serving out the match. At 3-3 in the opening set, Kvitova saved six break points before winning the game with two straight aces. She converted her first break point in the following game when the 20th-ranked Vinci double-faulted twice in a row and served the set out with another ace. On Saturday, the Czechs took a commanding 2-0 lead in the series after Lucie Safarova upset Errani 6-4, 6-1, and Kvitova followed up with a 6-4, 6-2 win over Camila Giorgi. In the other semifinals, Germany won 3-1 in Australia. The Czechs beat Germany in their previous three encounters. Custom Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys .

Though the 26-year-old said he was able to participate, coach Dwane Casey kept Johnson out as a precaution.Some collectively solid play has keyed a stretch of success the Edmonton Oilers desperately needed. Theyve certainly played well against the Florida Panthers in recent seasons. Looking to build on an impressive effort against one of the NHLs top clubs, the Oilers try for a sixth straight win over a visiting Panthers team thats going for a season-high third straight victory Sunday. Overcoming an early one-goal deficit, Edmonton (10-23-9) scored the final three goals en route to a 5-2 victory over Chicago on Friday. The Oilers are 3-1-2 since going 0-7-2 amid a 1-14-6 slide. Five Oilers had a goal and eight earned at least a point Friday. Eight players have scored the 12 goals Edmontons recorded while winning two of three. Were starting to gel a lot as a team, said forward Taylor Hall, who has six points in six games after recording an empty-net goal and an assist against the Blackhawks. When we get down, we come together. We dont try to do too much individually. Were starting to play like that and its helping out a lot. Its a nice little stretch for us. Though the Oilers 29 points are still the fewest in the league, theyre starting to build cohesiveness and confidence during a rough season thats seen the firing of coach Dallas Eakins and only two stretches with two or more consecutive victories. Edmonton hasnt won back-to-back contests since Nov. 7-9, but appears poised to do something about that. Interim coach Todd Nelson felt his club took a major stride by following Chicagos early first-period goal with two of its oown and not faltering when the Blackhawks tied it in the second.dddddddddddd It was a great sign that we could bounce back right away, said Nelson, whose club has scored five goals in two of those last three contests. Thats good to see. Hopefully that continues and we keep on maturing in that direction. Acquired in the Dec. 29 trade that sent center Mark Arcobello to Nashville, veteran Derek Roy has two goals in three games and added two assists Friday. Teammate Jordan Eberle had four goals with an assist in four games prior to being shutout Friday, but has two of each in four versus Florida (19-11-19). Edmonton has won nine of 10 against the Panthers and posted four straight one-goal victories in the series before winning the last meeting 4-1 at home Nov. 21, 2013. Though Florida has recorded one win and a tie in its last nine at Edmonton, it improved to 3-1-0 on a six-game trip with a 6-5 victory at Calgary on Friday. Tomas Fleischmann scored the winner with 3:09 left in the third and was one of four Panthers with a goal and an assist. We always complain were not scoring but we scored (Friday), said Panthers coach Gerard Gallant, whose team ranks near the bottom of the league averaging 2.33 goals but has 12 in three contests. Fleischmann has recorded two of his five goals in his last three games. He had three with three assists during a six-game point streak against the Oilers that ended with the loss at Edmonton in November 2013. Teammate Jonathan Huberdeau has three goals and two assists in two games.
