The U.S. Billie Jean King Cup team will return to Asheville, N.C. for the third time in five years in April with a spot in the 2022 Billie Jean King Cup by BNP Paribas Finals at stake.
The USTA has selected Harrah’s Cherokee Center as host for the team's qualifying tie against Ukraine, which is scheduled to be played from April 15-16. Team USA previously played at Harrah’s Cherokee Center -- Asheville in 2018 and 2019, when the competition was called Fed Cup. The two events combined generated more than $8 million in economic impact for the region and spurred increases in tennis participation at the grassroots level.
