MADRID, 12 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –
This Sunday, Canada won the Billie Jean King Cup by winning (2-0) in the final eliminator against Italy in the Finals held at the La Cartuja Stadium in Seville.
The young Marina Stakusic and the intractable Leylah Fernandez defeated Martina Trevisan (7-5, 6-3) and Jasmine Paolini (6-2, 6-3) to make Canada’s first final in the formerly called Federation Cup good.
The Tennis World Cup was led by Stakusic for the Americans, who, at 18, achieved the biggest victory of her career to leave her country one step away from the title that the men’s team also won for the first time last year in the Cup. Davis.
Stakusic held her own against the world number 43, a Trevisan who reacted to a break against her to serve to close the set. The Canadian scored the last three games to turn the set around, but in the second set she surpassed herself with a spectacular 6-3 after starting from below.
Next, Leylah Fernandez, the other architect of the great Canadian week, extended her love affair with the tournament to take advantage of the option of giving the title to her country. Paolini was always in tow of Leylah who quickly decided on the first Women’s Tennis World Cup for Canada, which Seville will always have in her memory.
