Australia to face Switzerland in Billie Jean King Cup final

Australia to face Switzerland in Billie Jean King Cup final

Australia captain Alicia Monk said a first Billie Jean King Cup since 1974 is “for the taking” after seeing off hosts Great Britain in a nail-biting finish to reach Sunday’s final agaist Switzerland.

The Brits had defied the odds with a whitewash of Spain on Thursday to reach the last four for the first time in 41 years in front of a home crowd in Glasgow.

But Australia’s experience paid off as the final doubles clash went to a champions tie-break won by Storm Sanders and Sam Stosur.

The seven-time winners missed out on the title in 2019, when they lost in front of a home crowd to France.

“We’ve got the team to get through tomorrow,” said Monk. “We’re still making up for the final we lost a couple of years ago, we know what that feels like. But we’re optimistic, we’re a team, we’ve got great support, so it’s ours for the taking.”

Finalists for a second consecutive year! 👏
