It has been quite an eventful week for the American Billie Jean King Cup team. The team had many new faces, with star player Coco Gauff missing from the event. Emma Navarro was marking her first appearance in the tournament after being selected, thanks to some consistent performances earlier this season. On the other hand, Team USA also boasted some experienced players like Taylor Townsend and Madison Keys, who left no stone unturned to cheer for their team.

The opening day of the tie saw Jessica Pegula and Emma Navarro take the court. While the two sweated it out on the court, the other players of the American team had a gala time cheering for them.

The sentiment resonated on-court as well as Team USA made a winning start to their campaign. While Jessica Pegula got the better of Sofia Costoulas, Emma Navarro brushed aside the challenge of Hanne Vandewinkel. With the second day’s play still remaining, the American team looks like strong favorites to proceed to the Billie Jean King Cup finals.

Before the tie, Townsend narrated how confident her team was to prevail in this tournament. She was beaming with pride and prioritized to represent her country over participating in the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix. As a result, Billie Jean King was left in awe.

Billie Jean King shares a heartfelt message

Taking to her official Instagram handle, Jean King shared a glimpse of Townsend’s interview in which she talked about how fortunate she felt to represent Team USA. Reacting to it, Jean King wrote, “There’s nothing quite like the pride players feel in representing their countries in the @billiejeankingcup.”

While Pegula and Navarro will be fulfilling the singles duty, Madison Keys and Taylor Townsend will team up for the doubles encounter. Given the American team’s dominance, it looks unlikely that the doubles encounter will have any bearing on the result of this tie. Can Team USA win this year’s Billie Jean King Cup?
