Bencic and Teichmann gave Switzerland its first title

Switzerland did not win the Fed Cup during the Martina Hingis and Patty Schnyder, crashed in 1998 at home in Arantxa Sánchez and Conchita Martínez. Last year, they couldn’t compete in Russia. But Belinda Bencic, Jill Teichmann, Viktorija Golubic, and Simona Waltert, instead of Stefanie Voegele, and the captain Heinz Guenthardt they took revenge at the Emirates Arena in Glasgow (Scotland).

In the third, they won the Billie Jean King Cup for the Swiss country, defeating Australia 2-0 in the final. They are world team champions.

The third time was the charm for the Swiss team. Switzerland, who were the twelfth nation to win the trophy in the entire competition, twice missed out on victory.

As was the case in their confrontation in last season’s edition, Belinda Bencic She finished with a win over Ajla Tomljanovic (6-2 and 6-1). Jill Teichman, born in Barcelona and trained by Beto Martín and Arantxa Parra, opened with a loss to Storm Sanders (6-3, 4-6 and 6-3). Australia extended its curse. It has been 49 years since the oceanic team has not won an eighth title in the tournament.

There will be no revenge for the Australian team that in 2021 was beaten by Switzerland in the semifinals. Just like that, the first two points were enough for the team led by Heinz Guenthardt will achieve the goal.

Storm Sanders gave Teichmann the most fights in the opening bout of the final. The Australian is one of the sensations of this final stage. He faced the rivalry with five wins in the six matches he played between singles and doubles. He is the soul of Alicia Molik’s team. But Teichmann gave no reason for the Australian’s return. And the Swiss born in Barcelona 25 years ago won 6-3, 4-6 and 6-3 in two and a half hours.

Switzerland was one step away from the goal and Australia had no margin for error. In the hand of rivalry between the numbers of one of both teams. Bencic and Tomljanovic have met five times. The ocean won for the first time, in Madrid in 2015. But the rest went to the Swiss. Includes appointment at Billie Jean King Cup since last year.

No color this time. Bencic, Olympic champion, twelfth ranked, winner this year in Charleston and finalist in Berlin, won 6-2, 6-1 in 78 minutes.

The rivalry between the 2021 runners-up, Switzerland, and 2019, Australia, fell to the Swiss side, with three of the players left on the brink of victory last year -Bencic, Teichmann and Viktorija Golubic- finally provided the expected success for your country.

Australia remain on the shores of the trophy again. In his twentieth last, he lost again. Amassed seven titles but the last in 1974.
