The United States will travel to Bratislava this weekend to face Slovakia and Denmark in the opening round of the 2025 Billie Jean King Cup.

Led by captain Lindsay Davenport, the American team will have to compete without their star players, as three athletes withdrew just two days before the start of the competition.

World No. 3 Jessica Pegula, along with Danielle Collins and McCartney Kessler, will not make the trip.

Pegula, in strong form recently, comes off three intense weeks of competition, including a final in Miami and a title in Charleston.

They will be replaced by Alycia Parks, Bernarda Pera, and Hailey Baptiste. Earlier in the day, Clara Tauson, Denmark’s top-ranked player, also withdrew due to a back injury.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
