Boulter & Raducanu in GB team for Billie Jean King Cup

Katie Boulter and Emma Raducanu have both been named in the British team for November’s Billie Jean King Cup Finals.

Harriet Dart, Heather Watson and doubles specialist Olivia Nicholls complete the five-woman team for the competition in Malaga from 13-20 November.

GB qualified for the knockout stage courtesy of an unlikely win over France on an indoor clay court in Le Portel in April.

Raducanu - in just her second appearance for her country - levelled the tie by fighting back to beat Caroline Garcia on the opening day.

After Boulter had beaten Clara Burel in the first Saturday singles match, Raducanu won the tie for GB by beating Diane Parry in a third-set tie-break.
