A valiant effort from Great Britain who perhaps on another day would've found a way past Team USA and into an unexpected showdown with Italy but Jessica Pegula and Emma Navarro showed their class to reach the championship match at the Billie Jean King Cup Finals.
Navarro was up first as she took down Sonay Kartal albeit it was all on the racquet of the Brit to begin proceedings. She won through 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 to give the United States a 1-0 lead meaning victory for Jessica Pegula against Katie Boulter would settle proceedings.
It did albeit Pegula too wasn't exactly completing the job with ease. The United States albeit with a strong team most years have struggled in recent history in this tournament. They have reached now 31 finals in this event albeit they haven't done so since 2018. Th
