Shenzhen Named Host of Billie Jean King Cup Finals Through 2027

The International Tennis Federation announces the event's first-ever hosting in China, highlighting the growth of women's tennis in the region.

The Billie Jean King Cup Finals will be held in Shenzhen, China, from 2025 to 2027, marking the first time the event will take place in China.
This shift represents a significant milestone for the competition, emphasizing cultural exchange and the global growth of women's tennis.
China's Zheng Qinwen, a world top-five player, praised the decision as a reflection of tennis's progress in the country and its potential to inspire young players.
Hosts China and defending champions Italy automatically qualify for the 2025 finals, with six additional teams advancing through qualifiers held in April.
The event's relocation follows the return of professional women's tennis to China in 2023 after a suspension due to concerns over Peng Shuai's safety and allegations against a government official.
