Alison Riske rewarded in marathon tiebreak at BJK Cup
Alison Riske came out on top of the second-longest tiebreak in Billie Jean King Cup history on Friday, edging Dayana Yastremska 7-6 (18/16), 7-5 as the United States took a 2-0 lead on Ukraine. Riske needed eight set points in the tiebreaker while Yastremska battled back from 5-1 down and had four set points herself before the American pulled off the epic decider in the opening rubber of the tie in Asheville, North Carolina. "It was so bizarre and amazing at the same time," said Riske. Yastremska added: "I was laughing inside and, same time, I wanted to cry. I didn't know when it's going to finish. It was so unpredictable both ways." It was already an emotional week in Asheville, where the US team did all they could to make the Ukrainians -- worried about family and friends at home amid the ongoing Russian invasion -- feel welcome.
