Czechia and Slovenia completed the final four of the Billie Jean King Cup on Friday in Seville. They will face Canada and Italy respectively on Saturday for a place in the final.
In Group A, the Czechs had the last word over the Americans in the decisive doubles, Barbora Krejcikova/Katerina Siniakova winning 6-3 7-5 at the expense of Danielle Collins/Taylor Townsend, while the score was 1-1 after the singles.
The Czech Republic, which has 11 titles in this event formerly called Fed Cup (until 2020), will face Canada in the first semi-final, which came out at the top of Group C after having dismissed Spain and Poland.
Italy has its chance
Slovenia, thanks to its success in the first single of the match against Kazakhstan, ensured that it finished first in group B to offer itself a duel with Italy, which had already ensured its qualification on Thursday by finishing in the lead from group D. The Transalpines will be favorites in this half.
For the Slovenes, it was Kaja Juvan (104th in the world) who brought the point of the match, synonymous with the semi-final, by crushing Anna Danilina (814th) 6-1 6-0 in just 53 minutes.
