Australia is set to contest the opening tie at the 2023 Billie Jean King Cup Finals in Spain.

The International Tennis Federation revealed the schedule today for the finals, which will be held in Seville from 7-12 November.

The Australian team then faces Kazakhstan in their final round-robin match on Thursday 9 November.

Winners of the group stage advance to the semifinals on Saturday 11 November, with the final to follow on Sunday 12 November.
