W Szwajcarii robili Idze Świątek pod górkę. Potem mogła świętować podwójnie

Before the match with the Polish national team, the Swiss made a surprising decision, which had its second bottom. Before the Billie Jean King Cup qualifying match in 2024, when the tennis season was already moving to the flour, they organized a match on… a hard court, wanting to weaken the advantages of Iga Świątek. The leader of the ranking at the time reacted in the best possible way, and after the match she had two reasons to celebrate. Promotion was just one of them.

Correspondence from Radom

Polish women will face the Swiss in the first match of the qualifying tournament and promotion to the finals of the Billie Jean King Cup. Both teams will face each other for the second year in a row, although in 2024 everything was decided by one meeting played for two days. This time, there are also Ukrainians in the game and only one of these teams will celebrate promotion on the court in the Radom Sports Centre.

A year ago, Poland and Switzerland played together on the court in Biel, and the decision on the surface traditionally belonged to the organizers. And although the entire tennis world moved at this time of year to the meal, the Swiss decided to organize a match with Poland on the hard surface. This is a move that was supposed to take away the advantages of Iga Świątek.

So Iga Świątek reacted to the Swiss decision

It is no secret that the Polish woman is an absolute dominance on the earth courts. The Swiss also knew about it, who, contrary to everything, decided to prepare a hard court, which was to make the advantage of Iga Świątek not so great. Of course, no one spoke directly about it, but it is difficult to treat this particular decision differently at the moment when the game is already on the meal.

How did the leader react? She played as if… the surface didn’t make any difference to her. On the first day, she beat Simona Walterat 6:3, 6:1, and the second one added a win over Celine Naef 6:4, 6:3. This second result led Poland to advance to the finals of the Billie Jean King Cup in Malaga.

The leader of the ranking could celebrate not only the promotion, but also… the qualification criterion for the Olympic Games. She had to play a match in the national team, because in another case she could not count on a direct qualification for the tournament in which she reached for the Olympic bronze medal. The reasons for joy were two: promotion to the BJKC finals, as well as the Olympic qualification of our first rocket.
The rematch? It will be a match on completely different terms

Today in Radom, both teams will play again, this time on the earthly court, where there will also be events in Stuttgart, Madrid, Rome and Paris. Even despite the absence of Iga Świątek, Poland will again be the favorite to win over the Swiss. The withdrawal of Belinda Bencic significantly reduces the Swiss’ chances of success in Radom. Viktorija Golubic, Jil Teichmann and Celine Naef will probably see in action. They are the ones who are to face the Poles.

Our rivals will also want to retaliate for the embarrassing result from a year ago. Then the whole match against Poland ended with a 0:4 result. Two victories of Iga Świątek in singles include the triumph of Magdalena Fręch over Celine Naef and the doubles won of Mai Chwalińska and Katarzyna Kawa. The repetition of the script is not impossible, but in the absence of our leader, it will certainly be much more difficult for her.

The beginning of the match Poland – Switzerland in Radom today at 3 p.m. Tickets are available at this address >>.
