Great Britain will play France, Switzerland, Sweden or Argentina in the Fed Cup promotion play-offs in April after crushing Austria over the weekend.
GB have not been seeded for next week's World Group II play-off draw after topping their Europe/Africa Group I pool following victories over Portugal, Holland, Israel and Austria.
It is the first time that GB have progressed to this stage since 1993.

I'm really looking forward to the play-offs where hopefully we'll do it all again.
Laura Robson
British number one Elena Baltacha, who won all four matches she played last week, is looking forward to the challenge, saying: "This group of players is really special and I think we really deserve this success. I do genuinely feel it's onwards and upwards for us now which is a very exciting prospect."
Heather Watson also won all her games last week while Laura Robson was quick to praise new captain Judy Murray, saying: "I've loved spending the week with my team and, of course, our captain, Judy, who's made such a difference that I'm really looking forward to the play-offs where hopefully we'll do it all again."
Singles wins for Anne Keothavong and Baltacha against Austria ensured GB finished top of the pool. Baltacha clinched a 6-1 6-4 win over Austrian number one Tamira Paszek after Keothavong had secured a straight-sets victory over Patricia Mayr-Achleitner, the British number two winning 7-6 6-3.
Defeat in April would see GB return to compete in Europe/Africa Group I next year.
Maria Sharapova is 2.00 to win this week's WTA Paris tournament while Jelena Jankovic is available at 1213.00.
