Berlin - Less than three months after losing the FedCup final to the Czech Republic, Germany will roll out the same four-woman team for their 2015 first round match with Australia.

World number nine Angelique Kerber will spearhead a quartet which also features Andrea Petkovic, Sabine Lisicki and Julia Goerges, for the tie on a Stuttgart hardcourt on Feb 7-8, captain Barbara Riitter said on Wednesday.

The meeting will be a rematch of last year's semi-final, which the Germans won 3-1 in Brisbane before going on to lose 3-1 to the Czechs in Prague in November.
