disappointing comments made by yanina wickmayer's father--

"Why does Justine want to play? Because the tie takes place in Belgium and to increase her popularity in Flanders? If it is still there next year, will she go to Russia or the Czech Republic?"

now i understand(from my own experience being in belgium myself and research before-hand)that there is a certain bitterness between the two regions because of the division but one would think somebody could rise above all that in the best interest of the sport and belgium's presence in this sport! and as long as she's keen,one would think having justine there would be a no-brainer.
i wonder what yanina herself feels about this. she's obviously hasn't made any negative comments about it.
all i know is that i am so glad coaches and parents are barred from fed cup events!!
