The Billie Jean King Cup is a team competition wherein, the participating nations send in their best squad for a chance to reach the famed World Group and eventually, become the Fed Cup champions. Every year, some of the biggest players participate in the tournament, further adding to the popularity of the tournament.
The event starts in early February and runs through the remainder of the year, with the final taking place in November. Broadly speaking, there are two parts of the tournament – the main draw and the qualifying draws.
In the main draw, we see eight teams split into four brackets, with each of them competing against each other to reach the final and eventually, be crowned as the champions.
As for the qualifying draws, we see multiple teams spread across several tiers and zones, competing against each other to rise through the ranks and eventually reach the play-offs for the main World Group. It is interesting to note that these qualifying matches are played to decide the contenders in the following year’s Fed Cup.
Over the years, the likes of Serena Williams, Angelique Kerber, Petra Kvitova, Simona Halep, Karolina Pliskova, and many more players have represented their countries in the tournament. We can expect the 2019 edition to go along the same lines.

The Group C proved to be a tight one with all three teams, USA, Slovakia and Spain winning one and losing one tie apiece. Making it more interesting was the fact all three teams also won and lost three matches which meant it was the percentage of the sets won that decided that USA made it through to the semifinal.
Russia Tennis Federation defeated USA in the first semifinal 2-1, while Switzerland routed Australia 2-0 in the second to set up the title clash.
