Bermuda earned their first point at the Fed Cup in Puerto Rico yesterday.

But it was not enough to prevent them from going down to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Bolivia in their second group C match.

Siblings Jacklyn and Tara Lambert defeated Hortencia BirnBaumer and Anellisse Torrico Moreno 6-2, 6-3 in the doubles.

Earlier, Bolivia clinched the best of three series with a game to spare after Tyler Smith, Bermuda’s No 1 player, and Jacklyn Lambert lost their singles matches against Maria Fernanda Alvarez and Daniela Sequel.

Smith went down 6-1, 6-2 against Alvarez.

Bolivia then clinched the series after Lambert lost 6-0, 6-0 to the relentless Sequel.

Bermuda’s Fed Cup campaign got off to a losing start against third-seeded Peru in their opening group C game on Wednesday.

The Islanders were always going to be the heavy underdogs in their match against the Peruvians.

Bermuda, who have a rest day today, will face winless Panama in their next round robin match tomorrow.
