The next year Fed Cup by BNP Paribas first round will take place between February 9th-10th.

We also have a new rule. “The ITF Board and the Fed Cup committee has approved that we will expand the teams to five players. Which will be great for the captains and for more players to be able to compete for their nation.” Haggerty said during the draw ceremony.

The World Group dates for the 2019 Fed Cup by BNP Paribas are as follows:

World Group semifinals; World Group/World Group II play-offs: 20-21 April

World Group Final: 9-10 November


In the World Group first round, USA and Germany seem slightly favorite. Belgium lost to France in the first round this year, so it will seek revenge.

Without doubt,  the strongest clash will take place in Prague. The competition specialist, leaded by Karolina Pliskova and Petra Kvitova, will have to pass on home ground by Romania, leaded by World No.1 Simona Halep. Both teams have a lot of players in top 60 WTA, so a very interesting match is announced.
