2024 Billie Jean King Cup Finals Nominations confirmed as Pegula, Paolini, Muchova, Fernandez set as Swiatek snubs Seville again
WTA
The nominations for the 2024 Billie Jean King Cup Finals are confirmed but perhaps there are question marks again surrounding scheduling with the team tournament between 13-20 November affected by one event.
That being the WTA Finals with Iga Swiatek, the World No.1 in particular as well as Coco Gauff deciding not to play in Seville. Currently only two players slated to be in Riyadh will be involved.
Those being Jasmine Paolini and Jessica Pegula. Emma Navarro and Coco Gauff have either opted out or decided not to play. This means Danielle Collins who sits currently inside the top eight but is fighting for her spot is joined by Dolehide, Townsend and Stearns as well as Pegula for Team USA.
It is a strong line-up otherwise though with Emma Raducanu, Naomi Osaka, Leylah Fernandez, Karolina Muchova, Bianca Andreescu among others all involved. Paula Badosa will also spearhead Spanish efforts. But Swiatek now skips the tournament for a third straight year due to the Finals.
Conchita Martinez, Billie Jean King Cup Finals Tournament Director, said: “This is a stellar line up of some of the world’s best players, and I can’t wait to watch them battle it out in Malaga in November. As a player, there is no greater honour than representing your nation, and every player who puts on their team’s colours in November will be giving everything they have to win this prestigious title for their country. Overlapping with the Davis Cup Final 8 is going to make for a spectacular fortnight of tennis and I can’t wait to welcome the tennis world to Málaga this November.”

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.mandoist06-11-2026
- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026

- After a couple decades traveling to IIHF tourneys overseas... our family is done with it... and I will not be the only one!! Bad enough the NHL allows Ovachenko (a Putin Supporter and Campaigner) to live and play in the USA. Let's not forget the STATE SPONSORED RUSSIAN DOPING PROGRAMS still in effect today.mandoist31-10-2026
- Osaka's mental state apparently does not allow her to reach any more Quarter Finals? I mean, she doesn't really have the time for tennis with all the pre-planning that must go into her 12 year-old "fashion" goals.mandoist29-10-2026
