The French women's tennis team has been relegated to the second division of the Billie Jean King Cup after a defeat against Colombia, despite a potential format change that could offer a lifeline.

The absence of top players like Caroline Garcia significantly impacted France's performance in the BJK Cup.

Colombia's Camila Osario emerged as a key player, securing two victories that contributed to her team's success against France.

If the BJK Cup format changes to include more teams, France could have a chance to return to the elite division sooner than expected.

The performance of emerging players like Camila Osario may influence future matches and the overall competitiveness of the BJK Cup.


The French women's tennis team faced a significant setback in the Billie Jean King Cup, losing to Colombia in a crucial play-off match. Without key player Caroline Garcia and with Diane Parry sidelined due to injury, the team struggled to maintain its position in the elite division. The decisive doubles match ended in a loss for Clara Burel and Chloé Paquet, sealing France's relegation to the second division for the first time since 2014. Despite this defeat, there remains a glimmer of hope for France, as potential changes in the BJK Cup format could allow them to remain in contention if the number of participating countries increases.
