Summary
Catherine, David and Matt were live to review Italy’s 2-0 triumph over USA which saw them defend their Billie Jean King Cup title in Shenzhen.
Part one - Italy d. USA 2-0 Review. How good were the victories for Elisabetta Cocciaretto and Jasmine Paolini? Were Emma Navarro and Jessica Pegula a bit flat or Italy just too good? Did the scheduling favour Italy? What's the solution which will allow the USA to leverage its strength in depth? And what’s the secret to Italy’s current domination of tennis?
Part two - Reflections on the event as a whole (33m35s). We cover the calendar slot, new format and new home in Shenzhen. How do we feel about it all? And what, if anything, can be done to make this event what it should be?
