The quest continues... Team USA 🇺🇸 are semi-finals bound, storming past Spain 2-1. #BJKCupFinals
The top semi-final taking place in the Billie Jean King Cup will see USA face off against Russia after victories over Spain and France on Wednesday.
The former faced a must-win situation after losing to Slovakia 2-1 in their Group C on Tuesday and Sloane Stephens and Danielle Collins stepped up to the plate.
The 18-time winners of the formerly known Fed Cup, they showed their pedigree with Stephens defeating Nuria Parrizas-Diaz 6-4, 6-4, while Collins breezed past Spain's top name, Sara Sorribes Tormo 6-1, 6-0 in just under an hour to seal it.
While for Russia, they only needed one win from their match against France to advance after easing past Canada 3-0.
It was Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova who delivered rallying to defeat Alize Cornet 5-7, 6-4, 6-2 to earn Russia their semi-final spot.
Clara Burel kept France's hopes alive winning the opening singles seeing off Ekaterina Alexandrova 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 but the Russians won the doubles for an overall 2-1 win.
As well as them, Australia are currently facing Belarus as of time of writing with Storm Sanders and Ajla Tomljanovic anchoring the charge for Australia.

- I heartily disagree with Stubbs here. I mean c'mon! The whole idea of giving out wildcards is to give new & up-coming players a chance at getting as much circuit match-practice under their belts as possible. And this is a HUGE must and opportunity for these new kids on the block. Why curtail opportunities for these newbies in favour of stalwart monopoly?? That just isn't fair. At least give these lesser known players a chance to become more familiar at playing in bigger tournaments & give them also a chance of getting the crowds behind these underdogs.
