The Spanish Tennis Federation (RFET) announced the renewal of Anabel Medina, for one year, as captain of the Spanish team that is fighting the Bill Jean King Cup, formerly called the Fed Cup (Federation Cup).
The Valencian will continue on a bench he has held since 2018, with a balance of seven wins and three losses, contributing to the rise of a team that has yet to set foot in the new format of the Billie Jean King Cup Finals.
That will be the challenge in 2023, which first involved losing to Mexico in the previous tie, at home on April 14 and 15. Medina had the debut of Paula Badosa in the Glasgow 2022 Finals, although there is not yet any tie in which it coincides with the build-up to Garbine Muguruza.
Spain has five titles, but has not dominated the competition since 1998, when Arantxa Sánchez Vicario and Conchita Martínez they closed their successful cycle.
Anabel Medina is confident that the sixth trophy will come soon. “My ambition since I assumed the captaincy has been to win the Billie Jean King Cup and I am still convinced that this goal is within our reach. At the moment Spain is a great power in the world with five players in Top-100 and we are going to leave the skin in the competition, starting with the qualifying round that we have next April”, said the coach in the official RFET statement.
Medina will have a new opportunity. Yes, there was a relay in the men’s team. the stage is over Sergi Bruguerafrom 2023 he will rule david ferrerwho signed for three seasons as captain.
Miguel Diazpresident of RFET, assured about the continuation of Anabel Medina that “Everyone at RFET is sure that our MAPFRE women’s team can win the BJKC anytime, they have more than enough quality to achieve it.
Anabel is a born fighter and is also very close to our future players, which is very important for our federation”.
