Asia Muhammad added to U.S. roster for Billie Jean King Cup Qualifier

Asia Muhammad has been officially named to the U.S. roster for next weekend's Billie Jean King Cup Qualifier.

Muhammad, 31, is ranked No. 36 in doubles and No. 169 in singles and has been named to the U.S. Billie Jean King Cup roster for the first time. So far in 2022, Muhammad has posted an 18-3 record in doubles and 16-1 in singles, notably winning a staggering 27 consecutive matches across both disciplines from February through March. 

Her doubles streak ended at 12 straight victories with a defeat in the final of the BNP Paribas Open, a WTA 1000 event, but her 15-match singles streak is still alive. Muhammad won three consecutive ITF World Tennis Tour events in Australia in February following the Australian Open.

Muhammad officially replaces Danielle Collins, who withdrew from the tie with a lingering neck injury. She is the second replacement called up to the U.S. team in recent weeks after Alison Riske, who steps in for Sloane Stephens.
