Billie Jean King Cup: Navarro and Pegula Stunning, USA Secures Their Place in the Final
A wind of redemption is blowing through the American Billie Jean King Cup team. Faced with a determined British team, the U.S. players showcased their mental strength to win, match after match, with authority and courage.
She was the one who sparked the comeback. Emma Navarro, ranked 18th in the world, faced a high-performing Sonay Kartal and experienced a challenging start before winning in three sets (3-6, 6-4, 6-3). Following her, it was Jessica Pegula, currently ranked world No. 7, who completed the task against Katie Boulter (3-6, 6-4, 6-2).
The goal is now clear: bring the trophy back to the United States, which would mark a historic 19th title in the competition. But the final hurdle is daunting: Italy, led by Jasmine Paolini and impressive since the start of the week, is eagerly awaiting them this Sunday.
Notably, this marks the 31st qualification for the American team in the Billie Jean King Cup final and their first since 2018.
