TORONTO – Bianca Andreescu, Kayla Cross, Gabriela Dabrowski and Ariana Arseneault will represent Canada at next month’s Billie Jean King Cup playoffs in Brazil.

Tennis Canada announced the four-player roster Wednesday for the Nov. 20-21 tie in Vitoria, Brazil, which will be contested on outdoor clay courts.

Eighth-ranked Canada will face 19th-ranked Brazil in a best-of-five series, with the winner advancing to the 2027 qualifiers.

Andreescu, the 2019 U.S. Open champion, is coming off her biggest tournament victory since 2019 after winning a WTA 125 event in Italy on Sunday.

Dabrowski, ranked fourth in the world in doubles, will make her 21st Billie Jean King Cup appearance and could face her regular doubles partner, Brazil’s Luisa Stefani.

Canada, which won the competition in 2023, has a 12-0 all-time record against Brazil but is coming off a 3-1 loss to Kazakhstan in the qualifiers earlier this year.
