Named after former world number one and women’s rights activist Billie Jean King, the championship premiered in 1963 as the Federation Cup. However, it has been remembered by current viewers as the Fed Cup.
The Czech tennis players dominated the Fed Cup in the new millennium, and since 2011 they have been able to win the entire competition six times. With eighteen titles, the USA is the most successful country, and this year’s victory is defended by French tennis players.
