The Polish women won the historic semi-final of the Billie Jean King Cup thanks to their victory over the Czechs. Even before the match began, it became clear that the Italians were waiting for the winners of the quarter-finals. Despite considerable difficulties, the team with Jasmine Paolini in the line-up defeated the Japanese 2:1. Iga Świątek will most likely play with the discovery of this season.
Playing against Jasmine is never easy. She’s had a great season. The Italians know how to work together. But I’m focused on singles, but I’ll be ready [for doubles]. This is my last tournament of the season, I’ll give it my all. Playing for Poland is always amazing — Świątek assured in a post-match interview. And their recent clash has a lot of history.

The tennis players have met three times, and the current WTA vice-leader won each time. However, the two clashes are quite distant times — 2018 and 2022. The last duel was the final of this year’s Roland Garros. For the 28-year-old Paolini, it was the first Grand Slam final in her career. She was only a backdrop for the Polish player.
