The twelve best international teams in women’s tennis have descended upon the Martin Carpena Arena in Malaga, Spain for the Billie Jean King Cup Finals that start on Wednesday.

Considered the World Cup of Tennis, the teams will compete in a knockout format with the top four seeded sides earning a bye into the quarter-final.

Last year’s champions Canada will play either Germany or Great Britain in the quarterfinal, while the 2023 runners-up Italy have also been handed a first-round bye. The Italians, led by French Open and Wimbledon runner-up Jasmine Paolini, will play in the quarterfinal against either Japan or Romania.

Wild cards Czechia have also been handed a bye and will play the winner of Spain and Poland.

Australia will play their quarterfinal against the winner of the match between Slovakia and an American team skippered by three-time Grand Slam champion Lindsey Davenport.

USA is the most successful team in the competition’s history, with 18 titles. Their last title however, came in 2017.
