Billie Jean Cup 2025

[Hawkeye]

Emma pulls out of the Finals to take a wildcard in Seoul.

I'll come out and say that she shouldn't get picked again as she has plainly decided where her priorities lie.

[JAMES4578]

Whilst disappointing not a total surprise, at the moment Emma is projected to be just outside the top 32.

Team GB play Japan in the last of the quarter finals on Thursday.

[Hawkeye]

A comfortable 2-0 win gets GB a semi final against the USA on Saturday at 10 am.

Sonay won 6-3 7-6, and Katie won 6-2 6-1.

[JAMES4578]

Well done Sonay and Katie, Will be tough in semi mind you.

[clancy]

Sadly Sonay lost To Navarro, over to Katie who may find it tough against Pegula. Update: Katie takes the 1st set 6-3, one more Katie! Update: Sadly Katie also loses 6-3,4-6.2-6. US 2-0.

[Hawkeye]

Both matches very similar, off to a flyer before a drop in level coinciding with the US raising theirs.

[JAMES4578]

A good effort but ultimately could not maintain the level required.

[Hawkeye]

Italy swept the US aside in the final with two straight sets wins.

Looks like the extra days rest may have made the difference.

[JAMES4578]

Likely a factor,the straights sets win for Cocciaretto over Navarro was surprising though and Paolini had an emphatic 6-4,6-2 win over Jessica Pegula.
