Last minute package, Diane Parry will not play her singles match this Sunday in the Billie Jean King Cup. Varvara Gracheva replaces her at short notice to challenge the Colombian Camila Osorio.
The Billie Jean King Cup French team is currently not in Malaga where the final phase is being played, but in Bogota. In Colombia, the Blues are playing a crucial play-off. On the clay court of the South American capital, a place among the elite is at stake. The day after the first day, concluded with a score of parity (1-1), a hard blow hit the French clan. Uncertain, Diane Parry finally had to throw in the towel while she was coming off a well-rounded success against Emiliana Arango the day before (6-2, 6-4). Hit in the left knee, the Francilienne was not aligned by Julien Benneteau.
The captain of the France team selected Varvara Gracheva, 66th in the WTA rankings, to replace the 50th player in the world. Following the latter's duel against Camila Osorio, Clara Burel will challenge Emiliana Arango. At the end of these two clashes, if neither nation has reached three points, a decisive double will take place. It will then pit Chloé Paquet and Varvara Gracheva against a pair composed of Maria Paulina Perez Garcia and Yuliana Lizarazo.
