- British team defeated 2-1 by Slovakia in semi-finals
- Boulter loses before doubles loss completes turnaround
Great Britain’s hopes of reaching the Billie Jean King Cup final for the first time in 43 years were ended as they suffered a heartbreaking 2-1 defeat by a spirited Slovakia team on Tuesday.
“Gutted,” said Anne Keothavong, the team captain. “I think we’re all absolutely gutted. We came into this event really believing that we had a good shot at it, and unfortunately we fell short. We came up against a better team. But it’s still pretty raw right now. It’s quite difficult to find the right words.”
