The American squad will be led by their two top-ten players. One of them is their all-time great Serena Williams and the other one is the reigning Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin. Alison Riske, Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Coco Gauff are also part of the American Fed Cup team.

“I’ve known [Kenin and Gauff] since they were little girls so it is really exciting to see them blossoming into top players in the country and in the world, and it’s very rewarding,” said U.S. captain Kathy Rinaldi, told the Seattle Times.

“They know that I am there to support them, whether they play Fed Cup or not. Obviously, I want them to play Fed Cup. I am fortunate we have so many great Americans now in the Top 100.”

The former French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko will lead the Latvian team. World Number 41 Anasasija Sevastova, Diana Marcinkevica, and Daniela Vismane are her teammates. 

Team USA won its last Fed Cup in 2017. Their captain Rinaldi feels they have a bright chance this year to capture another one.

“I would love to win another one, there is no doubt about that,” Rinaldi said. “We’ve got some exciting young players and for them to have that experience to get their feet wet in the Fed Cup — and to maybe bring that title home would be amazing.”

Previously the Team USA has 18 Fed Cup titles. And its the most number of titles ever won by any team in the history of the event. Last year, Team France won the Fed Cup title with Kristina Mlandenovic single-handedly taking out Team Australia in the finals.
