Great Britain Begins Billie Jean King Cup Qualifiers with Key Lineup Adjustment

Emma Raducanu withdraws as Jodie Burrage steps in, with matches underway in The Hague for a spot in the Finals.

Great Britain’s women’s tennis team has started its Billie Jean King Cup qualifiers in The Hague, competing in Group F against Germany and the Netherlands.
British No. 1 Katie Boulter leads the squad, joined by Jodie Burrage, who replaces Emma Raducanu after her withdrawal to focus on recovery and training.
The qualifiers follow a format of two singles and one doubles match per tie, with group winners advancing to the Finals in Shenzhen, China, later this year.
Great Britain, ranked seventh in the Billie Jean King Cup standings, faces challenges on indoor clay courts and the absence of Raducanu but remains a strong contender.
Matches are broadcast live on BBC Sport, BBC iPlayer, and the Tennis Channel, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the event.
