Great Britain vs Slovakia – LIVE!
Great Britain look to reach the final of the Billie Jean King Cup for the first time since 1981 as they face Slovakia. The winner of this semi-final tie will face Jasmine Paolini’s Italy for the title tomorrow, as the team event reaches the business end.
It has been a dominant showing from the British side so far in Malaga. Emma Raducanu and Katie Boulter have both won their two singles matches without dropping a set, meaning the doubles pairing of Heather Watson and Olivia Nicholls has not yet been required. Germany were beaten to kick the campaign off, before defending champions Canada were swatted aside on Sunday.
Anne Keothavong’s team are favourites to beat Slovakia, who edged past the United States in the first round of these finals and then upset Australia to reach the last-four. Unlike Great Britain they have won this event before, back in 2002. Follow all the action with Standard Sport’s LIVE blog below!
