“Having the opportunity to host the finals in your home country doesn’t come around very often so we’ll do everything we can to make our fans proud.” Although Raducanu has been selected, there are still question marks over her fitness after a season marred by injuries.

For each tie, teams can announce the players who will compete up to one hour before the match.
