Britain on Verge of Billie Jean King Cup Victory as Stojsavljevic Shines
Great Britain is one win away from securing a spot in the Billie Jean King Cup Finals, thanks to impressive performances from Mika Stojsavljevic and Harriet Dart against Australia in Melbourne. Stojsavljevic, ranked 275th in the world, pulled off a stunning upset against world No 65 Talia Gibson, winning 7-6 (7-4) 7-5 in her debut Billie Jean King Cup match. The 17-year-old's victory marked a significant 219-place difference in the WTA rankings. Britain's team, led by Anne Keothavong, is looking to progress without key players Emma Raducanu, Sonay Kartal, Katie Boulter, and Fran Jones. Stojsavljevic's win was followed by Dart's comeback victory over Kiimberly Birrell, 4-6 6-3 6-3, leaving Britain needing just one more win to qualify for the finals in Shenzhen, China. Dart will team up with Jodie Burrage in the doubles match against Storm Hunter and Ellen Perez to try to seal the win for Britain.
