Women’s tennis team of Ukraine has found a new captain. The former number one player in Ukraine, winner of 10 ATP tournaments in men’s singles, has been appointed Ilya Marchenko.
The 36-year-old tennis player will combine his playing career with the position of captain. Marchenko replaced Mikhail Filima in the post.
Our team did not make it to the final stage of the Billie Jean King Cup. The Ukrainian team lost to Romania in the qualification – 2:3, squandering the advantage of two winning games.
Ukraine failed to reach the final stage of the Billie Jean King Cup for the third year in a row. In 2022, our tennis players lost to the US team, and in 2023, to the Czech national team.
The blue-yellows were among the seeded teams before the playoffs. In the fall (15-16 or 16-17 November) Ukraine will play against the Austrian team.
