‘Disaster’ strikes Australia’s new world No.1 Storm Hunter and teammate Ellen Perez ahead of Billie Jean King Cup

Australia’s Billie Jean King Cup tennis hopes have taken a hit before a ball has even been hit, with newly crowned world No.1 doubles star Storm Hunter and teammate Ellen Perez caught up in a scheduling drama. The rain-marred WTA Finals in Cancun ran a day over time, with Hunter in a race against time after losing her semi-final and Perez all but ruled out as a result of reaching the championship match.

Despite also arriving at the 11th hour last year, the modern-day left-handed “Rockhampton Rocket” won two of her matches in both singles and doubles, including posting a victory over top-20 star Mertens. Molik will no doubt be banking on Hunter riding on adrenaline whenever she lands in Spain, having secured the world No.1 doubles ranking with a her charge to the semi-finals in Cancun. The Queenslander has usurped co-No.1s Jessica Pegula and US Open singles champion Coco Gauff from top spot.
