17:36 CET - What an absolutely incredible tie to start off the Billie Jean King Cup Finals! Much like the earlier rubber, Jasmine Paolini had to dig deep to produce her own escape act, as she fought from a break down in both the second and third sets after losing the opener.
In the end, she scrapped to a 4-6, 7-6(4), 6-4 win over Xinyu Wang, helping Italy clinch a 2-0 win over China to reach the semi-finals. The Chinese team will certainly be in disbelief that they didn't, at the very least, take this tie to a deciding rubber, especially considering Wang led 4-2, 40-0 in the final set.
14:13 CET - What an utterly remarkable way to begin the Billie Jean King Cup quarter finals! Somehow, someway, Elisabetta Cocciaretto has produced a stunning escape act, fighting from a break down in the second set, as well as a double break down in the third, to win a thrilling contest against Yue Yuan in just under three hours, 4-6, 7-5, 7-5.
Yuan will be devastated that she wasn't able to get over the line, and will be kicking herself that she hasn't given China a 1-0 lead. Instead, defending champions Italy go up, and Jasmine Paolini will be looking to finish the job next.
Team tennis ALWAYS produces!
