The Turkmenistan Fed Cup team represents Turkmenistan in international women's tennis and is directed by the Turkmenistan Tennis Association. The team played in the first ever tournament in 2004, and five occasions since. Prior to 1993, Turkmenistani players competed for the Soviet Union.[1]
The team has achieved very few feats in competition, particularly in their early history. During their first two years, they only won two rubbers in seven ties. In recent times, they have been more successful, winning at least two ties per year since 2011.[1] Nevertheless, they still compete in Asia/Oceania Group II, the lowest level of competition for teams from the Asian Tennis Federation.[2] As of 2013 they have a 9–16 win–loss ratio.[1]
Nelli Voynich is their captain, having been in that position since 2013.[2] Anastasiya Prenko holds the record for most singles wins, doubles wins, and total wins, while sharing the record with Jenneta Halliyeva for most ties partaken in.[1] As of April 2013, the team is ranked No. 53 in women's team tennis by the International Tennis Federation, their highest ranking since initiation.[3]
