Emma Raducanu puts Great Britain ahead against defending champions Canada as they pursue a spot in the Billie Jean King Cup semi-finals.
Emma Raducanu put the first point on the board for Great Britain in their pursuit of a Billie Jean King Cup semi-final place at the expense of defending champions Canada.
Raducanu's victory means British number one Katie Boulter has the opportunity to seal her nation's place in the last four of the women's team event known as the 'World Cup of Tennis'. The prize at stake for Britain or Canada is a semi-final against Slovakia, who beat 2022 runners-up Australia, on Tuesday .While reigning champions Canada rank second in the world, there is no reason for Britain to have an inferiority complex.
Canada's team selection was not clearcut and their captain Heidi El Tabakh decided to go with the experience of Marino over the potential of teenager Marina Stakusic. However, she deserves credit for rediscovering her game in the second set and valiantly dragging Raducanu into a battle.
