Comeback victories from Jessica Pegula and Emma Navarro against Great Britain sent the US through to their first Billie Jean King Cup final since 2018 in Shenzhen on Saturday.

After Navarro opened proceedings with a hard-fought 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 win over Sonay Kartal, Pegula sealed the tie for the Americans with a 3-6, 6-4, 6-2 win over Katie Boulter.
The victory means US have now reached the BJK Cup final for a record 31st time and they will take on defending champions Italy in Sunday's final for a shot at adding a 19th title to their storied history in the competition.
"It's the first time I will be in the final," said Pegula, who made her BJK Cup debut for the USA in 2019.
"I think everybody on the team it'll be our first time. So it'll be a new experience for us but there's no one else I'd rather share it with. We're excited to be back and hopefully take the title."
