• 4 MINUTE READ
Great Britain’s Billie Jean King Cup captain, Anne Keothavong, has submitted the list of five players who will take on France in the Billie Jean King Cup Finals Qualifiers from 14 – 15 April in Coventry.
Keothavong names an unchanged team for the upcoming qualifying tie.
Great Britain’s Billie Jean King Cup squad to face France:
- Harriet Dart (No.138)
- Katie Boulter (No.154)
- Heather Watson (No.169)
- Alicia Barnett (Doubles No.67)
- Olivia Nicholls (Doubles No.69)
The Brits will have to defeat France to qualify for the Billie Jean King Cup Finals – taking place later this year. The qualifying tie will be played as a best of five rubbers across two days at the Coventry Building Society Arena in Coventry.
Explaining her selections, Keothavong said, “I’m pleased to name the same team as the one we had four months ago in Glasgow where we gelled so well, and the team spirit was electric. There were some memorable performances across the week to help us reach the semi-finals.
"Harriet showed us what she’s capable of by beating the likes of Badosa and Tomljanovic. We saw Alicia and Olivia make their Cup debut, where they brought so much energy to the court and demonstrated how important doubles is. Katie and Heather have a proven track record in this competition and are enthusiastic as ever to be part of this team. While Emma is unavailable for this tie we look forward to seeing her back on the team in the near future”.
Let’s meet the Brits who are set to take on France in April:
