Iga Światek is waiting for her clash with Paula Badosa in Malaga
Iga Świątek is preparing to debut in the final tournament of the Billie Jean King Cup. The Pole will play against the Spaniard, who has caused her problems many times during their previous matches. Here, the 12th racket of the WTA ranking will play in front of her home crowd, which does not keep Iga Świątek awake at night. The Pole speaks only in superlatives about Bados, which is widely echoed in the Spanish media.
Iga Świątek’s words are spoken loudly
“It’s not the first time I’m playing with someone who will have the entire audience behind them. It won’t be easy, I’ll need extra focus. First I’ll focus on tennis, and then the game against Paula, which is always a challenge. I’m preparing tactically, because we haven’t played for some time,” Świątek said, quoted by the foreign press.
“I watched her journey and I was a little worried if she would be able to come back because her injuries were bad and painful and she tried sometimes but she didn’t succeed. Honestly, I’m happy to see her playing tennis again in tournaments like the US Open and many others. She’s really nice. Anyone who has determination and perseverance deserves to be here,” the Pole added, noting that she hopes Badosa will strive to achieve her goal.
