Billie Jean King Cup: Italy Ride On Paolini's Heroics To Reach Final
Italy qualified for their third consecutive Billie Jean King Cup final with a win over Ukraine in the semifinal. The match seemed to be going away from Italy after they had lost the first singles match and Jasmine Paolini too was trailing by a set. However, Paolini triggered a brilliant comeback win. Paolini battled past Elina Svitolina to level the tie before partnering Sara Errani to seal a decisive win in doubles to take Italy to final.
