The Czech Republic will compete against Canada for a spot in the title match of the 2023 Billie Jean King Cup Finals, following their triumph over the USA in a closely contested tie in Seville on Friday.
In a win-or-go-home clash between two nations that have a long history in this competition, the Czech Republic defeated the USA 2-1. While the United States still leads the all-time series, 10-5, their last three matchups have gone to the Czechs. The Americans’ last win against the Czechs came in the 2017 semifinals, en route to winning the championship over Belarus that year in Minsk.
