Billie Jean King Cup Leylah Fernandez and Marina Stakusic to play against Poland

(Seville) Canadians Marina Stakusic and Leylah Annie Fernandez will play singles again in the Billie Jean King Cup finals on Thursday, this time against Poland.

Both players won their singles duel the day before, while Canada swept host country Spain 3-0 to move to the top of Group C after its first match of the preliminary phase.

Stakusic should cross swords with Magdalena Frech, while Fernandez will meet Magda Linette.

In doubles, Fernandez and Gabriela Dabrowski of Ottawa will face Weronika Falkowska and Katarzyna Kawa. The doubles teams could be subject to change, depending on the results obtained in the two singles matches.

World No. 1 Iga Swiatek is not part of the Polish team. Canada is without 2019 U.S. Open champion Bianca Andreescu, who remains hampered by a back injury.

Poland and Spain will face each other in the final match of Group C on Friday. The winning countries from each of the four groups will advance to the semi-finals. The final must then be presented on Sunday.

Adelaide tournament Victoria Mboko advances to final

Victoria Mboko did not last long on the field in the semi-final of the Adelaide tournament, Friday in Australia.

The 19-year-old Canadian defeated local favorite Kimberly Birrell in just 59 minutes of play, 6-2, 6-1.

Mboko, 17e player in the world, slammed eight aces against none for her opponent, 107e world racket.

In the final, the Torontonian will face the winner of the other semi-final, which pits Russian Mirra Andreeva, third seed, against her compatriot Diana Schnaider.

The duel was short-lived, since Mboko was never broken and she only offered a break point to her opponent, who was unable to take advantage of it.

Victoria Mboko returns a ball to Australia’s Kimberly Birrell during their women’s singles semi-final at the Adelaide International tennis tournament.

On the other hand, the Canadian broke Birrell five times in seven occasions. She also won 80% of points played on her first serve and an impressive 86% of points played on her second serve.

His dominance on serve was unquestionable, with Birrell winning only 47% of the points contested on his first ball.

Both players committed three double faults.

Thanks to this victory, Mboko will climb to at least 16e world ranking following the tournament. A victory in the final would allow him to enter the top 15.

This competition in Adelaide serves as preparation for the Australian Open, which will take off on Sunday. In the first round, Mboko will face Australian Emerson Jones, 155e player in the world.
