The Great Britain Billie Jean King Cup team is set to face the Netherlands in the upcoming qualifiers, with a strong lineup announced by captain Anne Keothavong. The team includes Katie Boulter, Emma Raducanu, Sonay Kartal, Harriet Dart, and Olivia Nicholls. This selection highlights the depth of talent in British tennis, as the squad prepares to compete on indoor clay courts at the Sportcampus Zuiderpark in The Hague.
Katie Boulter, currently ranked world No. 38, will lead the team as the British No. 1. Boulter has been a consistent performer in the Billie Jean King Cup, boasting an impressive record of 14 wins from 19 matches. Emma Raducanu, ranked world No. 55, brings her Grand Slam-winning experience to the team, while Sonay Kartal, ranked world No. 83, continues her rise in the rankings with a strong season. Harriet Dart, a versatile player with experience in both singles and doubles, and Olivia Nicholls, the British doubles No. 1, complete the lineup.
The qualifiers will follow a round-robin format, with Great Britain also facing Germany in their group. The top nation from the group will advance to the Finals later this year, while the remaining teams will compete in the Play-Offs for a chance to return to the Qualifiers in 2026. The British team, which reached the semi-finals last year, is determined to build on their recent successes and secure a spot in the Finals once again.
