Girls: 2026 Junior Billie Jean King Cup finals, Cairo, Egypt, clay (Week 44)
Permalink  

The draw has been made for the Junior BJK Cup starting tomorrow, and though our team of Daniella Britton, Megan Knight and Annabel Wong, is not one of the favourites they at least appear to have a decent draw, in a round robin group with Japan, Brazil and Egypt.  Japan are seeded 4 and GBR 7  The three other top seeds (Czechia, USA and Ukraine) all seem very strong on paper.   Live streaming is available from 4 courts here  and we take on Brazil tomorrow, who fortunately don't have their top player Nauhany Vitoria leme da silva (JWR7/WTA609) but nevertheless are probably the strongest unseeded nation

Live scores are available here

3-0 wins for both Japan and GBR mean both nations qualify for the quarter-finals. Tomorrow's final round robin match is still potentially very important, as the winners will avoid the winners of any of the other groups in the quarters - and the three top seeds are on course to win their groups. Japan do though have three top 100 ranked players, led by Sakino Miyazawa, who impressed winning the Wimbledon U14 invitational event last year.

RR2

(7) GBR 3 Egypt 0

Megan Knight d. Karma Baher 6-2 6-1
Daniella Britton d. Kenzy Ahmad Abdelaziz 6-2 7-5
Knight/Wong d. Abdelaziz/Rami Jamal Al-Deen 6-3 6-1

RR3

(7) GBR v (4) Japan

Meg lost in a tight three-setter

And Dani has lost the first set in a TB against the very talented Miyazawa

 If we lose, do we still make the last 8? Or is it straight to semis?

 We still make the QFs, to face a group winner. See DavidC's last post. You can lead a horse to water ...

The top 3 seeds duly won their groups and the constraints on the draw meant we were bound to draw the runner-up in Group 3 or 4. Romania may have been preferable, as their number 1 retired from her match today, but we ended up with Spain Their number 1 Paola Pinera Celorio is strong on clay and JWR14, so they may well need to win the second singles and doubles. The quarter-finals appear to be scheduled for Friday

RR3

(7) GBR 2 (4) Japan 1

Megan Knight lost to Yui Komada 2-6 6-2 5-7
Daniella Britton beat Sakino Miyazawa 6-7(5) 7-5 rtd
Britton/Knight beat Komada/Wakana 7-5 6-0

QF

(7) GBR v (5) Spain
