In a decisive encounter from Group I Europe/Africa of the Fed Cup on Friday, Bulgaria lost its two singles matches against Belgium.

Thus Bulgaria missed the opportunity to qualify for the play-off and compete for promotion to an upper group.

The highest ranking Bulgarian female tennis player Tsvetana Pironkova was defeated by Alison van Uytvanck with 2:6, 4:6.

The other Bulgarian representative Elitsa Kostova lost to Ysaline Bonaventure with 3:6, 6:3, 3:6.

In the doubles match, Bulgaria's Dia Evtimova and Isabella Shinikova are facing Marie Benoit and An-Sophie Mestach, but the outcome will not affect the final standing in the group.

On Wednesday and Thursday, Bulgaria successively defeated Hungary and Latvia with 2:1 each and retained its right to participate in Group I next year.

As winner of the group, Belgium qualifies for the play-off, with the team having a chance to compete for promotion to the upper division.
