The Pacific Oceania Billie Jean King Cup Team were convincingly beaten 3-0 by Thailand in their opening pool match of the Asia/Oceania Group II Tie by BNP Paribas in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Kalani Soli (AS), playing in her first Billie Jean King Cup Match, lost the #2 Singles 6-0, 6-0 to Archisa Chanta, with a world ranking of 698. Then The #1 Thailand Player, Patcharin Cheapchandej, ranked 697, beat Violet Apisah 6-3, 6-0 to go to an unassailable 2-0 Tie victory.
The Doubles match unfortunately saw Abigail Tere-Apisah playing with Kalani Soli against the Thailand pairing of Punnin Kovapitukted/Lanlana Tararudee retire at 64, 5-2 with a calf strain that will likely keep her out of tennis for a month.
