It is the two most successful countries in the history of the Cup (a tournament founded in 1963 as the Federations Cup) that had to be separated by the final double.
Katerina Siniakova/Barbora Krejcikova, with seven Grand Slam titles to their credit, beat Danielle Collins/Taylor Townsend 6-3 7-5 in the final in Seville in a Group A decider.
– It’s always tricky with a decisive double because there’s no advantage, but I felt we had a good team spirit, says Krejcikova according to Reuters.
In Saturday’s semi-final, the Czech Republic meets Canada. In the second semi, Slovenia and Italy meet.
Starting Saturday 15.00 Billie Jean King Cup is broadcast on SVT Play.
