GREAT Britain have been drawn to face Japan in the quarter-finals of the Billie Jean King Cup in Shenzhen, China.

The finals, featuring eight nations competing in a knock-out format, commence on September 16.

The winners of Great Britain’s tie will face either USA or Kazakhstan in the semi-finals.

In the other quarter-finals, defending champions Italy face China and Spain take on Ukraine.

Britain qualified for the finals by beating the Netherlands and Germany in The Hague last month, with national number one Katie Boulter linking up with Jodie Burrage in the doubles to send them through.

Tournament director Conchita Martinez, the former Wimbledon champion from Spain, said: “Last year’s finals were a powerful reminder of just how much this competition means, not only to the players, but to fans around the world.

“Returning as tournament director for a third year is an opportunity to build on that energy and continue shaping an event that celebrates the very best of team tennis.

“The intensity, national pride, and level of play at the Billie Jean King Cup are exceptional, and I’m proud to help bring it to life again.”
