Great Britain’s wait to get their hands on the Billie Jean King Cup will continue after they exited the tournament with a semi-final loss to the United States.
Sonay Kartal was first to step on court in Shenzhen, China, facing Emma Navarro and going a set up early on with a 6-3 success, but losing the next two sets 6-4, 6-3 to leave Great Britain 1-0 down.
Katie Boulter then took on Jessica Pegula and again she hit her stride quickly, winning the first set 6-3, but after a tussle the second set went 6-4 to the American and the final set then ended 6-2 in favour of Pegula.
