USA Book Their Place in the Billie Jean King Cup Final

The Billie Jean King Cup 2025 semifinal between USA and Britain ended in a 2-0 victory for the Americans, securing their place in the final against Italy.

Jessica Pegula sealed the tie with a gritty three-set win over Katie Boulter, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4, in front of a packed home crowd. Moreover, Coco Gauff had earlier given Team USA the lead with a commanding 6-2, 6-1 victory in the opening singles match.

Key Moments from the Tie

Pegula started strongly, taking the first set with controlled aggression from the baseline. In addition, she recovered from a second-set dip to hold serve at 5-4 in the decider, closing the match with a forehand winner.

Gauff dominated from the first ball, breaking serve early and never allowing Boulter’s teammate Harriet Dart to find her rhythm.

American Team Spirit

Team captain Kathy Rinaldi praised her players:

“This team continues to deliver under pressure. Jessica and Coco showed why they are among the best in the world.”

Furthermore, the doubles match was not needed thanks to the two singles victories, saving energy for Sunday’s final.

Britain’s Brave Effort

Despite the loss, Britain’s captain Anne Keothavong was proud of her team’s performance:

“Katie fought so hard and gave everything. We came up just short, but we will be back stronger next year.”

Looking Ahead to the Final

The USA will face Italy in the final, with Iga Swiatek and Jasmine Paolini expected to lead the Italian challenge. As a result, fans are anticipating a blockbuster matchup.

Pegula said the team is ready:

“We know it will be tough, but we’re confident. This group has the chemistry and belief to win the title.”
