Is Emma Raducanu playing in the Billie Jean King Cup Finals?

Emma Raducanu is making her return to court after two months on the sidelines.

The Briton has not played since withdrawing in Seoul with a foot injury, ending her hopes of a busy Asian swing to end another frustrating season.

However, Raducanu has recovered in time to make Great Britain’s squad and has insisted she is feeling “really fit”.

Raducanu said: "I've been training in the last three weeks on it, properly building up and last week I was throwing myself around the court. It's feeling good.

"I'm happy to be in this position especially because it did take longer than we think. I feel really fit."

Raducanu will play in the first singles match, with Katie Boulter then following that. Heather Watson and doubles specialist Olivia will team up for the final match of the tie.
