Pairing confirmed
Poland and Italy in the semi-finals of the BJK Cup
The first semi-final at the final tournament of the Billie Jean King Cup in Malaga has been decided: World number two Iga Swiatek first ensured that Poland tied the Czech Republic 1:1 with a 7:6(4), 4:6, 7:5 victory over Linda Noskova in 2:39 hours. She then won the decisive doubles point alongside Katarzyna Kawa.
"It was an exhausting day, but it worked out. We did a great job and won," said the delighted five-time Grand Slam winner Swiatek. This is the first time Poland has ever reached the semi-finals of the traditional women's team competition. "It's great that we've made history for Poland," said Swiatek.
On Monday, they will now face Italy, who were the first team to qualify for the semi-finals with a 2:1 win over Japan. The second semi-final was decided on Sunday between Australia and Slovakia and Canada and Great Britain.
