Emma Raducanu staged a remarkable comeback to beat Caroline Garcia 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 in the Billie Jean King Cup playoffs, leveling the tie between Great Britain and France at 1-1. Starting from a set and 0-2 down, Raducanu won five consecutive games in the second set, eventually securing one of her career's best wins on clay against Garcia, former world No. 4 and currently WR 23, who is 279 places above Raducanu in the rankings. This victory, described as her 6th best ever by ranking and her best on a surface other than hard, marks a significant achievement for Raducanu, considering Garcia's formidable ranking. The win took place in Le Portel, France, and has been hailed as a pivotal moment for the British team in this qualifier.
