Switzerland clinched their first Billie Jean King Cup title with a victory over Australia in Sundayâs championship tie in Glasgowâs Emirates Arena.
In the final, Switzerlandâs Jil Teichmann edged Australiaâs Storm Sanders 6-3 4-6 6-3 and then Switzerlandâs Belinda Bencic, who hasnât dropped a set all week, sealed the deal by cruising past Australiaâs Ajla Tomljanovic 6-2 6-1.
The first triumph of Switzerland comes after the country finished runner-up in 2021 and 1998 at the team competition. Australians, who were Billie Jean King Cup runners-up in 2019, were trying to win their first title since 1974, when they won their seventh womenâs team tennis championship in an 11-year span.
