The 2025 Billie Jean King Cup Finals get underway in Shenzhen from September 16–21, bringing the World Cup of tennis back to Asia for the first time since 1989.
Eight nations will compete at the Shenzhen Bay Sports Center in a straight knockout format, with ties featuring two singles rubbers and a deciding doubles if required.
Defending champions Italy return with Jasmine Paolini leading the charge, while record 18-time winners USA are desperate to reclaim the crown for the first time since 2017.
Host nation China, minus Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen, will look to make the most of home support, while former powerhouses Spain and ambitious Kazakhstan add further intrigue.
It will feature some of the game’s biggest names like Jessica Pegula, Elena Rybakina, Katie Boulter, Elina Svitolina, and Paolini.
