In the recently finished Billie Jean King Cup quarterfinals, China was eliminated by Italy with a total score of 0-2, which is very regrettable.

During the first match, Yuan Yue took an early lead but was defeated 1-2 by Cocciaretto. She won the first set 6-4, led 4-2 in the second set, and 5-2 in the third, but was ultimately reversed by her opponent, a very unfortunate outcome.

In the second match, Wang Xinyu also experienced a come-from-behind loss, falling 1-2 to Paolini. Wang won the first set 6-4. In a tiebreak in the second set, she lost to Paolini, and although she had a chance to win the third set at 5-2 with three match points, she missed them and was overturned, finally losing the third set 4-6.

The Billie Jean King Cup is a team competition consisting of two singles matches and one doubles match. China was eliminated after losing 0-2, allowing Italy to advance to the semifinals. As the defending champion, Italy remains very strong. Had a healthy Zheng Qinwen participated, the result might have been different. Unfortunately, luck was not on their side. We look forward to strong performances from China's top players in the upcoming China Open.
