Great Britain won both of their singles matches in Malaga, with Raducanu starting the day with a straight-sets victory.

ꦦShe cruised through the first set before showing her mettle in the second to gain a 6-0 7-5 victory over Rebecca Marino in the early game.

🐠Katie Boulter then secured their passage, holding off Leylah Fernandez 6-2 6-4 in one hour and 42 minutes, without the need for a doubles decider.

🔴Despite being the second lowest-ranked team, Great Britain are through to the final four without dropping a set in any of their singles matches so far.

𒐪They will face Slovakia, who beat 2022 runners-up Australia earlier on Sunday to reach the semi-finals for the first time since 2013.

🌸Like Great Britain, they triumphed in both of their singles matches, with Viktoria Hruncakova and Rebecca Sramkova coming out on top to secure the unassailable lead.
