The 19-year-old Gauff will take on Austrian Julia Grabher in Friday night’s first singles match, beginning at 6 p.m. ET.

Pegula will play world No. 153 Sinja Kraus in the night’s second singles match, completing Friday’s schedule.

On Saturday, Pegula will meet Grabher at 2 p.m., with Gauff scheduled to play Kraus second.

Danielle Collins and Caty McNally are the nominated U.S. doubles team, scheduled to play Kraus and Melanie Klaffner after Saturday’s two singles.



The first nation to win three matches over the weekend clinches victory and advances to the 12-nation Billie Jean King Cup Finals in November. Saturday’s schedule and match-ups may be amended if one nation clinches victory in the third or fourth match of the weekend.
