Tennis: Promotion for Norway in the Billie Jean King Cup
The case is being updated.
The victory gives Norway promotion from group II to group I in the Euro-African zone. The duo Malene Helgø and Ulrikke Eikeri were in action for Norway in the team tournament.
Malene Helgø won her match 2-1 over Nicole Khirin after losing the first set in tiebreak. Ulrikke Eikeri had a tough time from the start against Lina Glushko and lost in straight sets (1-6, 4-6).
In the doubles match, Norway thus had to win. Eikeri and Helgø won 2-0 in the tournament which was previously called the Fed Cup. It corresponds to the men’s Davis Cup and is now named after one of the sport’s legends.
