Mackey replaces Russell Elana Mackey.
The Bahamas Lawn Tennis Association (BLTA) has named collegiate tennis player Elana Mackey to replace veteran Larikah Russell for the upcoming Billie Jean King Cup Tournament, formerly known as the Fed Cup.
With that roster change, the team for that tournament will now comprise team captain Kerrie Cartwright, Simone Pratt and collegiate players Sydney Clarke and Mackey. Cartwright was the captain at the 2019 edition of the tournament.
The tournament is set for June 23-26 at the Centro de Alto Rendimiento Fred Maduro in Panama City, Panama.
According to BLTA President Perry Newton, Russell opted not to travel with the team and 18-year-old Mackey was the next player in line based on the qualifying events the association held. Mackey plays for the Mars Hill University Lions in Mars Hill, North Carolina.
