Switzerland and Germany move through to Fed Cup Finals 2020

The next two winners have been confirmed at the Fed Cup Qualifiers with Switzerland and Germany joining the line-up for the Finals which takes place in April.

They join Australia, Czech Republic, France, Hungary and Spain with the latter qualifying earlier today with victory over Japan.

The former defeated Canada in a 3-1 win with Jil Teichmann the star of the show on home soil. She defeated Leylah Annie Fernandez in the first rubber; in a 7-6, 6-4 victory to make it 1-0.

Belinda Bencic then eased past Gaby Dabrowski in a 6-1, 6-2 victory. The latter had to be put into singles action; due to an injury to Genie Bouchard and Bianca Andreescu not being 100 percent fit for singles action.

Bencic had two matches in a row though; this threw the tie back open with Fernandez, the young Canadian claiming a brilliant 6-2, 7-6 win over the World No.5.

It was all up to Teichmann and Dabrowski; it was the former who defeated the doubles specialist in a valiant effort from the Canadian 6-3, 6-4.

Germany also eased through defeating Brazil in a 3-0 win. Laura Siegemund was the main star for them. She claimed the first tie 6-3, 6-3 against Teliana Pereira.

From there Tatjana Maria took to the court for singles action defeating Gabriela Ce in a 6-3, 7-6 win. The latter played again against Siegemund but it was a bridge too far as she eased through 6-1, 6-2 to claim qualification.
