LE PORTEL, France—Emma Raducanu wrapped up Britain's berth in the Billie Jean King Cup Finals by taking the last six points of a 4-6, 6-1, 7-6 (1) victory over Diane Parry of France on Saturday for an insurmountable 3-1 lead in the best-of-five-match qualifying round. Poland—led by No.
After the win, Emma Raducanu drops her racket on the court, leans over to place her hands on her knees, then stands with a wide smile.
Raducanu, the 2021 US Open champion who missed most of last season because of injuries, also put together a comeback from a set down in her opening singles match Friday against Caroline Garcia on an indoor clay court in Le Portel, France. “To be able to put two matches like that back to back—three sets and on clay, against really tough opponents—it’s just a testament to the work we’ve been doing,” said Raducanu, who has been as high as No. 10 in the Women’s Tennis Association rankings and is No. 302 this week, more than 250 places below both Garcia and Parry . “And I knew it would pay off, eventually. So I’m very pleased that, this weekend, it was able to show.
Romania, after losing the first two matches, rallied to beat Ukraine 3-2 in Amelia Island, Florida. Ana Bogdan and Jaqueline Cristian won singles matches to tie it, then teamed to beat Ukrainian twins Lyudmyla and Nadiia Kichenok 6-2, 7-6 .
