Canada has achieved a historic victory as they clinched their first-ever Billie Jean King Cup title by defeating Italy on Sunday in Seville.
The remarkable performance of Marina Stakusic and Leylah Fernandez, with their singles victories, secured an unbeatable 2-0 lead for Canada.
Canada’s team is set to receive a whopping $2.4 million in prize money, marking a new record for the women’s team event, previously known as the Fed Cup.
