Vania King, ranked No. 112, was finalized by U.S. captain Zina Garrison late Wednesday. The American squad includes unknowns Ahsha Rolle, Madison Brengle and World No. 1 doubles player Liezel Huber.

Veterans Lindsay Davenport and Serena and Venus Williams all were unavailable.

King's Fed Cup record is 1-2.

Kuznetsova, No. 4 in the latest world rankings, will be joined by seventh-ranked Anna Chakvetadze, 13th-ranked Dinara Safina and Elena Vesnina (44).

In February, the Russians topped Israel 4-1 while the U.S. beat Germany by a similar score.

It will be the seventh Fed Cup meeting between the two nations.

The U.S. leads the all-time series 4-2 but Russia won the last encounter 3-2 in the 2007 semifinal at Stowe, Vt.

In that matchup, King lost to Chakvetadze, 6-1 6-3.
