Paolini, Errani help Italy edge past Ukraine to secure spot in BJK Cup final

Holders Italy fought back from the brink to beat Ukraine 2-1 and return to the Billie Jean King Cup final on Friday, with Jasmine Paolini beating Elina Svitolina to level the tie before partnering Sara Errani to seal a decisive doubles win.

Victory at the Shenzhen Bay Sports Centre Arena helped the Italians become the first team to reach three successive finals in the elite women's team competition since the Czech Republic won three straight titles from 2014-16.

Paolini and Errani secured the tie by beating the Ukrainian pair of Marta Kostyuk and Lyudmyla Kichenok 6-2 6-3 to draw loud applause from the sizeable crowd of Italian fans who remained in their seats until close to midnight in southeastern China.
