The Billie Jean King Cup Finals in Shenzhen, China will be held in September instead of November for at least 2025, in a move designed to support “player calendar flow,” according to the International Tennis Federation (ITF).

The finals of the Billie Jean King Cup have been brought forward two months to September. Organizers say the new Sept. 16-21 schedule in Shenzhen, China, better aligns with the calendar for top women's tennis players.

This year's Billie Jean King Cup Finals have been brought forward to September to align the premier women's team competition with the start of the WTA Tour's Asian swing, the International Tennis Federation said on Thursday.
