“We knew it was going to be really, really tough today,” said U.S. captain Lindsay Davenport, “really proud of everyone on the team for fighting hard—for Jess for coming back from singles on such short notice, for Taylor for playing so well, and Emma did such a great job earlier. We’re thrilled to get through.”

The U.S. will face either Japan or Great Britian in the semifinals, which begin Saturday at 5 p.m. local time/5 a.m. Eastern time (stream live on the Tennis Channel app). The lineups will not be finalized until an hour before the tie.
Per the USTA, “The last time the USA was in the semifinals was at the 2021 Finals event in Prague, where it lost to the eventual-champion Russian Tennis Federation. The American team’s last final appearance was in 2018, also in Prague vs. the Czech Republic in the old home-and-away format.”
