The Billie Jean King Cup by Gainbridge Finals will feature last year’s winner Canada, runner-up Italy, host country Spain, and wild card Czech Republic (recommended by the organizer), as well as the preliminary round in April of this year. A total of 12 countries, including Australia, Germany, Great Britain, Japan, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, and the United States, will compete to become the world’s number one in a tournament format. The match will consist of two singles matches and one doubles match, with the winner being the first to win two matches.
Japan, ranked 15th in the world, defeated Romania, ranked 11th in the first round, with two wins and one loss, advancing to the quarterfinals. On the other hand, Italy, the third-placed powerhouse, was exempted from the first round due to seeding, and this will be their first match.
In the first singles match, Shibahara and Cocharetto competed against each other. In the first set, Shibahara had a break point in the fifth game, but missed a volley and conceded the break first. Shibahara then had six break points but was unable to convert them, and in the ninth game he was given a second break and was put ahead.
In the second set, Shibahara succeeded in breaking his opponent in the first game with a lob shot that went over his opponent’s head. Immediately after, Shibahara allowed Cocharet to break back in the second game, but he got a break again in the ninth game and caught up to one set all.
Then, in the final set, in the seventh game, with both players getting one break each, Shibahara grabbed a break point and finally succeeded in breaking due to his opponent’s double fault. Shibahara maintained this lead until the end, giving Japan a valuable victory.
Japan’s second singles match will see Moka Uchijima, ranked 56th in the world, take on J. Paolini (Italy), who is ranked 4th.
The winning country will face either the Czech Republic or Poland in the semi-finals.
