Italy swiftly defeats Slovakia in Billie Jean King Cup final 2-0.
Italy has won the Billie Jean King Cup for the fifth time in history, and the first time since 2013, in a 2-0 victory against Slovakia, surprise “underdog” from the tournament. As expected, it was a placid victory.
Tathiana Garbine, Italy’s captain, chose Lucia Bronzetti as first rival to Viktroai Hruncakova, and the Italian won 6-2, 6-4. The second match was even shorter: Jasmine Paolini won Rebecca Sramkova 6-2, 6-1, and Italy got the title after loosing it last year to Canada.
