Barbora Krejcikova and Belinda Bencic are the only Top 10 players featuring in the maiden Billie Jean King Cup final tournament due to start amid tight Covid-19 restrictions in Prague on Monday.

The season-ending team tournament will be held on indoor hard courts at the O2 Arena here, with the final scheduled for November 6. As the host city, Prague has replaced Budapest which was due to stage the Fed Cup in April 2020 before it was twice postponed over the Covid-19. The finals of the competition will be played in a tournament format for the first time since 2001.
