British number two Katie O'Brien thinks there is every chance of success at this week's Fed Cup.

The Great Britain team, that comprises O'Brien, Elena Baltacha, Anne Keothavong and Sarah Borwell, have been drawn in a group with Austria, Bosnia and Belarus as they attempt to win promotion in Portugal.

The winner of each group progresses to Saturday's play-offs with the two victorious nations then going forward to World Group II play-offs in two months' time.

"I think it's an okay draw although it's obviously quite tough," said O'Brien.

"I think it's good that we play Bosnia first as, on paper, they're the weakest team so we can play ourselves into the group."

Keothavong, on her return from a knee injury that has sidelined her for more than six months, looks set to partner Borwell in the doubles, with O'Brien and Baltacha competing in the singles.
