THE LOWDOWN
World number six Marketa Vondrousova was able to feature for Czechia, after missing the first tie due to playing in the WTA Finals last week, with gusto in a straight-sets victory over Sofia Kenin on Friday. Both sides won their opening ties 3-0 over Switzerland in identical circumstances to leave a a vital play-off on Friday but Czechia were able to bolster their side with new top talent whilst also counting on the best doubles partnership in the tournament in former number one Barbora Krejcikova and Katerina Siniakova.
Canada have looked a spirited side so far at the Billie Jean King Cup Finals but this will be their toughest challenge yet. Former world number 13 Leylah Fernandez led the line in 3-0 victories over hosts Spain and an underpowered Poland but Czechia have the most stacked team left in the tournament, with Canada so far relying on trump card Marina Stakusic to perform above her years as number two. Captain Heidi El Tabakh may well decide to roll the dice in former number five Eugenie Bouchard, who has looked solid enough in two doubles wins this week, but Stakusic has certainly earned the chance to tackle the likes of Marie Bouzkova or Katerina Siniakova.
THE PREDICTION
Despite their excellent exploits this week Canada look severely underpowered here. Czechia should have more than enough in a doubles decider, fronted by former number ones, to take the pressure off of the opening clash and they will feel confident in needing just one singles victory to ensure their route to the final. Leylah Fernandez will do her utmost, probably in both formats, to drag her nation over the line but Czechia simply look too strong across the tie to lose out here.
BETTING TIP: CZECHIA TO WIN.
