Australia’s path to potentially claim the 2024 Billie Jean King Cup has been revealed.
The official draw for the 2024 finals was conducted in London today, with Australia landing in the top half of the draw.
The prestigious team event is reintroducing a knock-out format for this year’s 12-nation finals, replacing the round-robin ties that determined the semifinalists in recent years.
The fourth-seeded Australia team receives a direct passage into the quarterfinals, where they will face the winner of an opening-round tie between USA and Slovakia.
The Australian team has also landed in the same half as defending champions Canada, as well as Germany and Great Britain.
The finals take place in Seville from 12-20 November 2024.
