**Katie Boulter and Emma Raducanu Poised to Lead Great Britain to Billie Jean King Cup Glory**
Great Britain’s Billie Jean King Cup captain, Anne Keothavong, exudes confidence as her team heads into a high-stakes quarter-final clash against defending champions Canada.

Following a commanding victory over Germany, Keothavong believes her squad, led by Katie Boulter and Emma Raducanu, has the talent and momentum to secure the country’s first title in the competition’s 60-year history. “I really believe we can win this,” Keothavong declared.

“We’ve got quality players who have proven their capabilities.” With top teams like the USA and the Czech Republic missing key players, Great Britain’s chances appear brighter than ever, especially with Boulter and Raducanu excelling in their respective positions as the highest-ranked No. 1 and No. 2 players in their half of the draw.

Keothavong’s strategy centers on aggressive, fast-paced tennis, well-suited to the slick indoor hard courts in Malaga. Her team faces a tough test against Canada, where Boulter will likely face World No. 32 Leylah Fernandez in a pivotal singles match.

Fernandez’s crafty, left-handed style contrasts sharply with Boulter’s powerful, straightforward approach, making the fast surface a potential advantage for the Brit. Meanwhile, Raducanu’s matchup against a lower-ranked Canadian player gives Great Britain a promising start, though the doubles pairing of Fernandez and Gabriela Dabrowski poses a formidable challenge.

“Representing your nation brings out the best in some players, and I know my team thrives under pressure,” Keothavong said. With Sunday’s tie hanging in the balance, Great Britain’s players are prepared to execute under pressure and pursue their historic moment of glory.
