Billie Jean King Cup: Great Britain’s Final Hopes Rest On Deciding Doubles After Boulter’s Loss
Billie Jean King Cup: Great Britain’s bid to reach the Billie Jean King Cup final for the first time since 1981 has come down to a dramatic decider after Katie Boulter’s loss in the semifinal against Slovakia's Rebecca Sramkova. With the tie tied at 1-1, after the singles matches, the outcome now hinges on a deciding doubles match, where the British team will face Slovakia.
The day began with British No.2, Emma Raducanu, giving her team an early advantage. Raducanu, who had not played competitive tennis for two months due to a foot injury, made an impressive return to form, defeating Slovakia's Viktoria Hruncakova 6-4, 6-4 in a controlled performance.
Raducanu’s victory came after straight-set wins earlier in the week against Germany's Jule Niemeier and Canada’s Rebecca Marino, which reassured her teammates and coach Anne Keothavong that the 21-year-old was back to her best.
