The best-of-five match series will take place on an indoor hard court at Chizhovka Arena in Minsk, November 11-12. Captain Kathy Rinaldi named 2017 US Open and Australian Open semifinalist and world No. 10 CoCo Vandeweghe, 2017 US Open Champion and world No. 13 Sloane Stephens , No. 59 Shelby Rogers and No. 70 Alison Riske to the U.S. team . Vandeweghe, Rogers, and Riske were all part of the Fed Cup team that swept Germany, 4-0, earlier this year in the first round in Maui. Vandeweghe and Rogers both competed in the semifinal against the Czech Republic in Tampa Bay, Fla. In that tie, Vandeweghe won both of her singles matches, as well as the decisive doubles match, to become the first U.S. Fed Cup player since 1996 to win three live matches in one tie. Vandeweghe has played in six Fed Cup ties for the U.S., holding a 4-0 record in doubles and a 5-3 record in singles. Stephens is competing in her first Fed Cup tie since the 2016 World Group II First Round and is 2-2 in singles play and 1-1 in doubles play in four ties. Rogers made her Fed Cup debut in Maui and is competing in her third tie, while Riske is competing in her fourth tie. Belarus’ Fed Cup Captain Eduard Dubrou named No. 78 Aryna Sabalenka, No. 87 Aliaksandra Sasnovich, No. 131 Vera Lapko, and No. 478 Lidziya Marozava to face Team USA. Sasnovich is the most experienced Fed Cup player on the team, playing in 16 ties and holding a 13-7 singles record and 5-2 doubles record in Fed Cup competition. Lapko has played doubles in five ties, holding a 4-1 doubles record, while Sabalenka and Marozava will both be competing in their fourth Fed Cup tie. Kathy Rinaldi, of Orlando, is having a very successful year in her first year as U.S. Fed Cup Captain, leading the U.S. team to a 4-0 sweep against Germany in her debut in February and then a 3-2 win in April over defending champion Czech Republic in a fifth-and-decisive doubles rubber. Rinaldi follows Mary Joe Fernandez to make it back-to-back U.S. captains to reach the Fed Cup Final in their debut year. Rinaldi was named the 19 th U.S. Fed Cup Captain on December 8, 2016, succeeding Fernandez after eight years at the post. Rinaldi currently serves as Lead National Coach, Team USA – Pro Women for USTA Player Development, focused on helping American pros achieve Top-100 rankings. She has coached the U.S. to multiple junior international team competition titles and coached the U.S. women in the Pan-American Games in 2015. Rinaldi, 50, was ranked as high as No. 7 in the world in singles (May 1986) and No. 13 in the world in doubles (February 1993). The U.S. Fed Cup Team will be travelling to Belarus for the first time and holds a 1-0 record over the country. The U.S. swept Belarus, 5-0, in the World Group II First Round in February 2012 in Worcester, Mass. The U.S. team included Serena and Venus Williams, while the Belarus team was set to feature new world No. 1 Victoria Azarenka. However, Azarenka, who made the trip to Massachusetts, had to withdraw from the tie due to a lower back injury after winning the Australian Open just a week before. The winner of this matchup will win the Fed Cup title. The U.S. Fed Cup team made its last appearance in the final in 2010, falling to Italy, 3-1, in San Diego. The U.S. won the last of its record 17 Fed Cup titles in 2000. Belarus is competing in its first Fed Cup final. Fed Cup by BNP Paribas is the World Cup of Tennis.

  • 2020 Western & Southern Open Doubles Field
    Western & Southern Open Defending Champions Headline Doubles Fields CINCINNATI (Aug. 11, 2020) – Both the women’s and men’s defending champions are among the initial entries to play doubles at the 2020 Western & Southern Open, which will be held Aug. 20-28 at the USTA Billie Jean King Tennis Center in New York. The 2019 WTA doubles winners – Lucie Hradecka and Andreja Klepac – are joined by the ATP Tour champions – Ivan Dodig and Filip Polasek – to headline the early entries. Other notable entries on the women’s side include the teenage pairing of Cincinnati’s 18-year-old Caty McNally and 16-year-old Coco Gauff. Dubbed “McCoco,” the duo won a pair of WTA titles in 2019 – at Washington, D.C. and Luxembourg – and reached the US Open Round of 16. Elise Mertens and Aryna Sabalenka, who finished 2019 atop the WTA Porsche Race to Shenzen as the season’s No. 1 team, are also in the field. Reigning Australian Open singles champion Sofia Kenin, a 21-year- old American, has entered with former Western & Southern Open singles and doubles winner Victoria Azarenka. The top two teams in the ATP Tour doubles race are entered in the men’s draw. The No. 1 team of Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah is returning after reaching two straight Western & Southern Open finals. They are joined in the field by the No. 2 team of Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo. The ATP Tour No. 1 ranked singles player, Novak Djokovic, has entered the doubles draw with countryman Filip Krajinovic. An additional five women’s teams and six men’s duos will join the fields through on-site entries, while the tournament will award three wild cards into each draw to complete the 32-team fields.
