France defeats Harriet Dart in the Billie Jean King Cup Finals after a tough battle.

France defeated Great Britain in the Billie Jean King Cup Finals, ending their hopes of advancing to the next stage. In a closely contested match between Caroline Garcia and Harriet Dart, world number five Garcia prevailed to seal victory for France. Even though Dart gave the 2,200-strong crowd something to cheer about by winning the second set, she was unable to keep up the momentum and lost the decider 6-1, 6-7 (10), 6-1. Despite the valiant performance from the British team, they were no match for France’s team, which boasts several top-ranked players. Britain will now aim to improve their rankings in order to face such high-caliber players more often.
