Wednesday 01 May 2024


Heather Watson and her Great Britain teammates will face Germany in the opening round of the Billie Jean King Cup finals.

The Brits qualified after Emma Raducanu and Katie Boulter helped them to a 3-1 victory over France at Le Chaudron in Le Portel.

The Finals will take place at La Cartuja Stadium in Seville, Spain, from Tuesday 12 to Wednesday 20 November, with 12 nations competing to be crowned world champions.

For the first time this year, the Billie Jean King Cup Finals will see the introduction of a revised format, replacing the round robin group stage with a knock-out competition, similar to the Davis Cup Final 8.

Eight teams will begin in the first round, with the four seeded teams receiving byes to the quarter-finals. 

The winners of Great Britain's match against Germany will face reigning champions Canada in the quarter-finals.
