Tennis betting tips: Best bets and analysis for the Billie Jean King Cup Finals

2 points for Czech Republic at 9/2 (Sky Bet365).

Kazakhstan is a good bet at 8/1.

The Billie Jean King Cup Finals are taking place in Glasgow this week. Russia and Belarus won't be there, but Great Britain will be. The format is a decent one and worked well at last year's inaugural Finals in Prague. There are 12 teams in four groups of three, which will play from Tuesday to Friday. They will take part in the semi-finals at the weekend. Elena Rybakina and Coco Gauff are among the players who are still playing.

Belinda Bencic, Jil Teichmann, Viktorija Golubic and Simona Waltert are playing in the Billie Jean King Cup Finals. Switzerland made the final last year but they are not as good as they were.

Canada's team consists of Leylah Fernandez, Bianca Andreescu, Gabriela Dabrowski, Rebecca Marino and Carol Zhao. Canada's first match is on Thursday.

Italy would prefer to play on clay. Lucia Bronzetti hasn't won a tour-level match on a hardcourt since March. Jasmine Paolini was runner-up at the WTA event in Cluj last month and has since won an ITF title outdoors. Camila Giorgi is injured.

Canada will win the tournament. Switzerland won the last tournament held in this same group. Italy will not progress.

Australia are playing in the Billie Jean King Cup Finals. Ajla Tomljanovic, Priscilla Hon, Storm Sanders, Ellen Perez and Sam Stosur are the team members. Daria Saville is not involved.

Anna Karolina Schmiedlova, Viktoria Kuzmova and Rebecca Sramkova are the Slovaks' team. Schmedlovak players have played at second-tier level in 2022.

Belgium are playing in the Billie Jean King Cup Finals. They play their opener in Glasgow on Wednesday. Elise Mertens has slipped down the singles rankings but won a WTA title in Monastir recently. Maryna Zanevska and Ysaline Bonaventure have been winning a lot of matches at ITF level recently and are good players.

Belgium's star player, Mertens, is not sure if she will play in the first tie. Australia look well placed to win the match.

Spain are playing in the Billie Jean King Cup Finals. Paula Badosa, Nuria Parrizas Diaz, Cristina Bucsa, Aliona Bolsova, Rebeka Masarova, and Paula Muguruza are the team members.

Kazakhstan are playing in the Billie Jean King Cup Finals. Elena Rybakina, Yulia Putintseva, Zhibek Kulambayeva, Anna Danilina are the players on the team.

Great Britain team is: Katie Boulter, Harriet Dart, Heather Watson, Alicia Barnett, Olivia Nicholls, and Anne Keothavong. Emma Raducanu is absent for GB. GB have a specialist doubles team in Barnett and Nicholl.

All three teams have a shot at reaching the semis, but Kazakhstan look best placed to do so. Badosa’s form and fitness looks a worry for Spain. GB have home advantage but they look short on real quality.

Czech Republic team consists of Barbora Krejcikova, Karolina Pliskova and Katerina Siniakova. Top-ranked Petra Kvitova won't be in Glasgow. Kreciksova has won WTA singles titles in Ostrava and Tallinn recently. Sinisakovka and Vondrousova have won three of the four Grand Slams in 2022.

Jessica Pegula withdrew from the Billie Jean King Cup Finals. Coco Gauff, Danielle Collins, Madison Keys, Taylor Townsend, Caty McNally, and Coco are the team. US have good depth, particularly in singles with Keys and Collins both ranked in the top 15. USA's clash with the Czechs will be all-important in this pool.

Poland are in Glasgow for the WTA Tour Championship. Magda Linette, Magdalena Frech, Katarzyna Kawa, Alicja Rosolska and Martyna Kubka are the team.

The Czech Republic have won six of the last 10 editions of this competition. The US have struggled away from home in the past.

USA and Czech Republic are the favourites for the Billie Jean King Cup Finals. Kazakhs are a good bet to win the tournament. The winner of Group D will play the team from Group A. The other winner will be the winner from the other group. They will have played at least 1630 on Friday, 1600 on Saturday and 1400 on Sunday. It's a tough schedule. BetVictor go 10s with Sky Bet.
