The Ukrainian women's tennis team in the American Asheville holds a Billie Jean King Cup qualification match against the USA.

On the first day of competition on April 15, our team suffered two defeats, but on April 16, the Blue-Yellows finally won their first victory. Dayana Yastremska dealt with Jessica Pegula in two sets - 6:3, 6:4.

Yesterday Yastremska lost to Alison Risk - 6(16):7, 5:7, and Katarina Zawatskaya lost to Jessica Pegula - 2:6, 1:6.

Thus, now the score of the match meeting is 1:2 not in favor of the Ukrainian tennis players.. Next Zavatskaya will play with Alison Risk. If the Ukrainian tennis player wins, then the double confrontation between Lyudmila and Nadezhda Kichenok against the American duo Desiree Kravchuk / Shelby Rogers will be decisive.

A defeat in qualifying will return Ukraine to the playoff round, and a victory will lead to the final tournament.

It should be noted that the Ukrainian team plays against the Americans with not the strongest lineup.. Elina Svitolina and Marta Kostyuk were forced to miss matches due to injuries.

Earlier it was reported that before the match with the United States, Ukrainian tennis players raised almost a million dollars for humanitarian aid for Ukrainians who suffered from the war with Russia..
