Six years after Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova suffered heartbreak versus the Czech Republic in the Billie Jean King Cup final in Prague, the Russian redeemed herself at the same venue with a winner's medal against Switzerland.
World number 12 Pavlyuchenkova had to withdraw at the last minute from her singles rubber on Saturday but that did not stop her team, competing in Prague as the Russian Tennis Federation, beating the Swiss for their fifth title.
With Saturday's victory, the Russians extended their winning streak to nine ties in the women's team tournament, which was formerly known as the Fed Cup. Igor Andreev, whose first assignment as team captain was the defeat by Latvia, hailed the entire journey that started with a win against Poland in 2019.
