The 38-year-old Williams last played Fed Cup in February 2018, and she is 13-0 in singles and 3-2 in doubles over 10 Fed Cup ties played since 1999. The 21-year-old Kenin reached a career-high ranking of No. 12 in 2019, and will surpass that with her semifinal result this week in Melbourne where she still has a chance to reach her first Grand Slam final.

Ostapenko has never faced Williams or Kenin and is 1-0 against Riske and 0-1 vs. Gauff during her career.

The 29-year-old Riske last year reached the Wimbledon quarterfinals, defeating world No. 1 Ashleigh Barty in the process. Gauff, 15, will rise into the Top 50 next week after the Australian Open where she defeated defending champion Naomi Osaka, and if she takes the court in Washington will be making her U.S. Fed Cup debut.

The 34-year-old Mattek-Sands last year won the Beijing doubles title with Kenin and is 7-1 in Fed Cup doubles over 10 ties played for the U.S. since making her debut in 2009.

Fed Cup is the world’s largest annual international team competition in women’s sport, with approximately 100 nations taking part each year. The U.S. holds an overall 152-38 record in Fed Cup competition with a 42-7 record in home ties.
