With a jam-packed January in the rear-view mirror, February comes out swinging with a revamped Fed Cup. Several notable names will be back in World Group action this weekend suiting up for their countries, including some Grand Slam champions.

In Biel, Switzerland, Bianca Andreescu is set to make her 2020 debut against Belinda Bencic. Andreescu defeated Bencic last year in New York en route to her first Grand Slam title.
