2024 Billie Jean King Cup Predictions and Odds – Can Canada Repeat in the BJK Cup?

The Americans are favored at tennis betting sites to win their first BJK Cup since 2017, although their 18 wins are the most of any country.

World #10 Danielle Collins anchors the team, coming off the best season of her career with two wins in Miami and Charleston. Peyton Stearns is 48^th in the WTA rankings, winning in Morocco, and Ashlyn Krueger is 65^th in the world. Taylor Townsend was one-half of the Wimbledon doubles champions and her partner, Caroline Dolehide, won the Canadian Open doubles title.

Captain Lindsay Davenport played 33 BJK Cup matches, posting a ridiculous 33-3 record (26-3 in singles, 7-0 in doubles). She knows how to win in this event.

Davenport would have loved to have Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula (who has a knee injury) here, but they’re coming off the 2024 WTA Finals. There’s still enough talent here for the Americans to be considered favorites in these 2024 Billie Jean King Cup odds.

The Czech Republic have won 11 BJK Cups, including six from 2011 to 2018! All four of their players are in the top 50 of the WTA rankings: Karolína Muchová (22^nd), Linda Noskova (26^th), Marie Bouzkova (45^th), and Kateřina Siniaková (46^th).

Siniaková is also the top-ranked doubles player in the world, and won Wimbledon with Townsend. She also won the mixed doubles gold medal in Paris.

Captain Petr Pala was at the helm of all of those winning teams from 2011 to 2018, and obviously knows what he is doing. This Czech team is deep, and they’ll be rested from their bye. Don’t sleep on the Czechs at BetUS in Malaga!

Poland have been boosted by the inclusion of world #2 Iga Świątek, who is at the WTA Finals to defend her title. Swiatek joins 24^th-ranked Magdalena French and 30^th-ranked Magda Linette. However, Maja Chwalinska is 165^th in the rankings, and Katarzyna Kawa is 258^th.

French won in Guadalajara this year, while Linette won in Prague. This team is loaded at the top as Swiatek has won five times in 2024, including her fourth French Open victory!

Dawid Celt will lean heavily on his top-ranked players in this tournament, but there is a concern about Swiatek’s energy levels after the WTA Finals. If she can hang on, Poland have a shot!

Canada won their first-ever BJK Cup title in 2023, and Leylah Fernandez was incredible last year, going 8-0 in the tournament! She has risen to 31^st in the WTA singles rankings, followed by Rebecca Marino (115^th), Marina Sakusic (128^th), and Gabriela Dabrowski, who isn’t ranked in the singles section.

However, Dabrowski made it to the Wimbledon final and is the fifth-ranked doubles player in the world.

Heidi El Tabakh created a great mood around the team last year, but now they won’t take anyone by surprise.

The Italians haven’t won this competition since 2013, but a trip to the final last year against Canada serves as motivation! Jasmine Paolini is fourth in the world rankings and has had a banner year with final appearances in the French Open and Wimbledon, and she also won doubles gold with Sara Errani in Paris.

Errani (103^rd) joins Paolini in Malaga, alongside Elisabetta Cocciaretto (54^th), Lucia Bronzetti (78^th), and Martina Trevisan (127^th).

Forza! 🇮🇹

Tathiana Garbin might have a better team than last year, but like Canada, teams will have their eye out for them. These 2024 BJK Cup odds at offshore sportsbooks are high for the Italians, and they’re a dangerous team!

The hosts offer some great tennis betting value in these 2024 Billie Jean King odds, led by Paula Badosa, 11^th in the WTA rankings.

Jessica Bouzas Maneiro is 55^th in the world, Cristina Bucsa is 71^st, Nuria Parrizas Diaz comes in 98^th, and Sara Sorribes Tormo brings up the rear in 104^th place. Spain has won this competition five times, but not since 1998. The home crowd will be out to cheer them on in Malaga!

Anabel Medina Garrigues has captained Spain since 2017, and the match between Badosa and Swiatek could determine Spain’s fate in the first round. But if they can get to the next round, Spain will have confidence and momentum, and they’ll be at home, which is alarming for the opposition!
