The Finals will be changed from a 12 team event to an 8 team event, it was announced today. The bidding process has begun to find a new host is underway.

Does anyone know when the draw is supposed to be done?

Finals will probably go to the current hotbed of tennis - Italy.

Team GB will face hosts The Netherlands as well as Germany in the qualifiers, which will take place from the 7th-13th of April.

The venue is The Hague's Sportcampus Zuiderpark.

It was also announced that the Finals will be held in Shenzhen, China.

Raducanu has withdrawn from the BJK tie next week in the Netherlands.

[Hawkeye]

Imagine my surprise at this news.

The Red Button will be going our tie against Germany from 1pm (13.00pm) next Friday (11th).

'Imagine my surprise at this news.' and yet I can't blame Emma for withdrawing. She can barely string two weeks together on tour without some niggle or strain. I'm even surprised Katie is playing as she is also recovering, although hers is less long term.
