A Look at Upcoming Matches and Prospects
In September the Ukrainian women’s tennis team will continue competing in the Billie Jean King Cup Finals. The tournament is scheduled for September 22–27 in Shenzhen, China, where the team will set ambitious goals and vie for top places on the world stage.
Last year, after Ukrainian tennis players reached the Billie Jean King Cup final, where they advanced to the semifinals, the team for the first time entered the world top-5 rankings – fifth place.
