Next: U.S. into BJKC Finals

The U.S. Billie Jean King Cup team will continue its quest for a record-extending 19th Billie Jean King Cup title this November at the Billie Jean King Cup by Gainbridge Finals.

 

Captain Kathy Rinaldi's team of Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula, Danielle Collins, Caty McNally and Sofia Kenin defeated Austria 4-0 in Delray Beach, Fla. in April's qualifying round to book a spot in the final, at a site to be determined. The Finals will be played from Nov. 7-12. 

History

The Billie Jean King Cup, the premier international women's tennis team competition formerly known as the Fed Cup, was officially rebranded in honor of the legendary Billie Jean King in late 2020. Some of the greatest tennis players in the history of the game have suited up for the U.S., helping it win a record 18 titles in the competition since the event began in 1963.
