The Czech national tennis teams entered the Billie Jean King Cup competition in Shenzhen, China. The women’s squad, led by captain Barbora Strýcová and including players such as Linda Nosková, Karolína Muchová, and Kateřina Siniaková, was scheduled to begin tournament play against Great Britain on September 22.

During the event, the women’s team drew social media attention regarding their attire. While captain Strýcová wore a short white outfit, the players wore matching conservative black dresses with black belts for an official dinner. Some social media users compared the clothing to “funeral attire,” though the players maintained their focus on achieving top results in the upcoming quarterfinals.
