On Wednesday, Tennis Canada confirmed that the 2024 Billie Jean King Cup by Gainbridge Finals and Davis Cup Final 8, held in Malaga, Spain, will be livestreamed by CBC Sports and broadcast live on TVA Sports in French. The Billie Jean King Cup Finals run from November 13 to 20, followed by the Davis Cup Final 8 from November 19 to 24.
As the reigning champions, Canada’s Billie Jean King Cup team has earned a first-round bye and will play their quarter-final match against the winner of Germany and Great Britain on November 17. Led by team captain Heidi El Tabakh, the squad consists of Leylah Annie Fernandez, Rebecca Marino, Gabriela Dabrowski, and Marina Stakusic. They look to become the first team since Czechia in 2016 to successfully defend their title.
On the men’s side Denis Shapovalov, Gabriel Diallo, Alexis Galarneau, Milos Raonic, and Vasek Pospisil will make up the Canadian Davis Cup team, captained by Frank Dancevic. The 2022 champions will be playing in their third straight Davis Cup Final 8 and will begin their road to the title against Germany on November 20. A victory could set up a semifinal tie against Spain in what will be the last tournament of Rafael Nadal’s storied career.
