BJK Cup - Can USA stop Italy?

Catherine, David and Matt react to a a couple of enthralling semi-final ties as Italy and the United States booked their spots in Sunday’s final.

Part one - Semi-finals review. We start by covering Italy’s dramatic comeback to beat Ukraine. There’s an apology for underestimating Jasmine Paolini, analysis of how the match devastatingly slipped away from Elina Svitolina, and praise for Sara Errani’s leadership in the decisive doubles. Turning our attention to USA’s victory over Great Britain, we discuss how both Emma Navarro and Jessica Pegula came back from a set down to see off impressive performances from Sonny Kartal and Katie Boulter.

Part two - Final preview (starts 29m50s). Will Italy stick with Elisabetta Cocciaretto? How much can we read into Pegula’s 5-0 head-to-head over Paolini? And do the United States have a doubles team which could stop Errani and Paolini? We get stuck into it all and give our predictions!

We will be live on YouTube at 8pm UK time on Sunday to review the Final.
