Last November, Felix Auger-Aliassime led Canada to its first Davis Cup title in the long history of the premier team event in men's tennis. Now, Canada is two steps away from winning the women's equivalent.

With yesterday's victory over Poland, Canada completed a clean sweep of Group C at the 12-team Billie Jean King Cup Finals in Spain and advanced to the final four for the first time since 1988 (when the event was known as the Federation Cup). Canada's opponent on Saturday at 10 a.m. ET will be the Czech Republic, which defeated the United States today to win Group A.

If Canada reaches the championship final for the first time ever, it will face Italy or Slovenia, who square off in the other semifinal on Saturday at 4 a.m. ET. The final goes Sunday at 9 a.m. ET. Every contest is being streamed live on CBCSports.ca, the CBC Sports app and CBC Gem.

Each matchup (or "tie" as they're called) is a best of three, consisting of a pair of singles matches and a doubles. In the group stage, all three legs are played, regardless of the outcome of the first two. Canada went a combined 6-0 in its three-team group against host Spain and Poland while dropping only one of the 13 sets.

Leylah Fernandez, Canada's highest-ranked singles player at No. 35, has been flawless so far, beating 50th-ranked Sara Sorribes Tormo of Spain and No. 24 Magda Linette of Poland in straight sets. The doubles tandem of Gabriela Dabrowski and Genie Bouchard also went perfect in its two matches.
