These two teams could not be more equally matched. France has the experience, as they get set to play their sixth final since 1997, while Australia is in its first title match since 1993. Australia's Ashleigh Barty just won the WTA Finals, solidifying her year-end No. 1 ranking, but France's Kristina Mladenovic is ranked No. 2 in doubles.

Australia has a 5-1 historical edge, though the two nations haven't faced off since 2000. Australia also has the home advantage, hosting the tie on hard courts in Perth.

Here's a look at who will be suiting up this weekend at the RAC Arena.
