Head To Head: 7-3
Great Britain and Australia have a lengthy rivalry in the competition, although they haven’t squared off since 1974, when the British team last advanced to the semifinals.

But going into their eleventh match, Australia is currently seven to three up in the head-to-head.
Players, Team, Standings
The team will be full of optimism as they enter the final four for the first time since 1981 after Great Britain’s improbable victory over Spain to advance to the semi-finals.
The British team needed to win all three rubber matches to advance, and they succeeded in doing so with to outstanding performances from Heather Watson, Harriet Dart, Alicia Barnett, and Olivia Nicholls, who all won their matches in straight sets.
Although they currently hold the top spot in the Billie Jean King Cup standings and advanced as far as the semifinals in 2021, Australia will present a completely fresh test for the British team. Ajla Tomljanovic, the top-ranked player, has beaten Anna Schmiedlova and Elise Mertens so far in Glasgow. She is coming off a season in which she advanced to the quarterfinals of Wimbledon and the US Open.
Australia has remained with a stable team thus far, with Storm Sanders carrying the singles mantle without dropping a set, while captain Anne Keothavong will need to choose between Watson and Katie Boulter for the second singles player. Sanders, their team’s ace, has been a powerful force for Australia in both singles and doubles and entered the competition as the No. 10 player in the world in the WTA doubles rankings. Together with Brazilian Luisa Stefani, she recently won her first WTA 1000 doubles match in Guadalajara.
