Victories by Sloane Stephens, Danielle Collins push U,S, into Billie Jean King Cup semis against Russia
The United States won both singles matches against Spain to reach the semi-finals of the Billie Jean King Cup on Wednesday.
The U.S., the most successful team in the competition formerly known as the Fed Cup with 18 titles, will face Russia in the semis. The Russians eliminated defending champion France earlier in the day. “I think in this format, every game, every set counts,” Collins said. “For me, I was just on a roll. I think it’s quite hard putting to words when you have a performance like that.”
