U.S. draws Czech Republic, Poland in group stage of 2022 Billie Jean King Cup Finals

The Czechs are second to the U.S. in all-time Billie Jean King Cup titles with 11; while five were won as Czechoslovakia, the other six have come in the last 10 years. They also currently boast four players in the WTA's Top 50, second to nine Americans. Poland has the WTA's consensus world No. 1 in its ranks in Iga Swiatek, but also counts Magda Linette and Magdalena Frech in the Top 100. In April's qualifying round, Swiatek led her country to its first-ever berth in the Finals by winning her two singles matches against Romania with the combined loss of just one game.

The team that wins each group will advance to the knockout semifinals. Group A will see 2021 finalists Switzerland face Canada and Italy; Group B is comprised of Australia, Belgium and Slovakia; and host Great Britain, the wild card team, joins Spain and Kazakhstan in Group C. The winner of Group D will face the winner of Group A in the semifinals, while Group B and Group C's top teams will clash for the right to play for the Billie Jean King Cup.
