Reply to "Heather Watson, Laura Robson, Johanna Konta and Emma Raducanu"

The British players are currently involved in the Federation Euro/Africa Zone Group I matches this week taking place in Israel. They are in Group C. There are 4 groups. The winners of Group A will meet the winners of Group C. The winners of Group B will meet the winners of Group D. The winners of the two matches will then move to the World Group II playoffs in April.

 

They won their first set of matches against Portugal 3-0.

Anna Keothavong beat Maria Joao Koehler 6-3 6-4 before Elena Baltacha saw off Michelle Larcher de Brito 6-2 6-3 to seal the tie, being played in Israel.

Heather Watson and Laura Robson then defeated Koehler and Larcher de Brito 7-5 6-0 in their doubles match.

 

They won their second set of matches against the Netherlands 2-1.

British number two Anne Keothavong lost 6-3 6-7 (3-7) 6-3 to Bibiane Schoofs.

Elena Baltacha responded from being a break down in the second set to beat Michaella Krajicek 6-3 6-3 before doubles duo Heather Watson and Laura Robson secured victory 7-5 7-6 (7-5).

 

The third set of matches are against the home country, Israel and are currently in progress.

Anne Keothavong has won her match against Julia Glushko 6-2, 6-1.

Elena Baltacha's match against Shahar Peer (who is ranked 37 in the world) is ongoing. Elena Baltacha has won the first set 6-4, and had just won the second set 6-3 therefore winning this match.

 

This means that regardless of the result of the doubles match and the other matches being played in Group C, Great Britain has won Group C and will meet the winners of Group A.
