Iga Świątek has a very difficult task ahead of her, because in her duel she will have to face the well-disposed Jasmine Paolini. Recently she struggled with Linda Noskova and it is clear that the Pole is far from the top of her form, but maybe a very demanding opponent will awaken the fighting spirit in her.
Magda Linette with her head in the clouds. Świątek reacted immediately
Just before the Billie Jean King Cup semi-finals began, it was clear that Magda Linette was very focused on her match. The tennis player wasn’t paying attention to what was happening around her and Iga Świątek had to intervene for the second time. Everything took place in a joyful atmosphere.
The ladies and the team captain, Dawid Celt, stood next to each other with small Polish flags. However, Magda Linette turned her back to the front, showing everyone the Polish Tennis Association logo . Iga Świątek leaned over to her colleague and corrected her blunder, and she didn’t really notice.
A difficult task for Polish women
Iga Świątek vs. Jasmine Paolini, Magda Linette vs. Lucia Bronzetti and Magdalena Fręch, and Katarzyna Kawa vs. Olympic gold medalists Jasmine Paolini and Sara Errani – the BJK Cup semifinals looked very difficult for the Polish team on paper. This year, the Italians have achieved a lot in tennis.
The first Olympic tennis gold, Paolini’s great form and the huge success of Jannik Sinner, who climbed to the top of the ATP ranking – Italy, however, has a craving for more and really wants to get to the finals in Malaga. However, it remains to be hoped that the Polish women will stop their rivals.
