Krejcikova to lead Czechs at Billie Jean King Cup

Reigning French Open champion Barbora Krejcikova will lead the Czech team at the maiden edition of the Billie Jean King Cup finals next month, the team said yesterday.

The rebranded Fed Cup tournament will be held on indoor hard courts at Prague’s O2 Arena on November 1-6 after the Czech capital replaced Budapest as the host city earlier this year.

Krejcikova will team up with her doubles partner Katerina Siniakova.
