LondoncTypeface:> Emma Raducanu has been backed to play a starring role for Britain on her return from injury at the Billie Jean King Cup Finals. The former US Open champion celebrated her 22nd birthday in Malaga on Wednesday as she prepared for Britain’s opening match against Germany on Friday. Raducanu has not played a match since spraining ligaments in her foot during the Korea Open in September but has recovered sufficiently to take her place in Anne Keothavong’s team. Raducanu led Britain to victory over France in the qualifiers in April and will again team up with Katie Boulter. (PA Media/dpa)
