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.”
