Spain They have to continue waiting to go back to the times when they won titles as a team. They have dominated the first so-called Federation Cup on five occasions, although the last title dates back to 1998. They have not reached the quarterfinal round since 2017, and will not again in 2024.
The Spanish team lost the round of 16 tie against Poland 0-2 in the annex of Sports Palace of Martín Carpena, where he simultaneously trained in his headquarters Rafael Nadalfor the Davis Cup.
They are a dramatic confrontation, at Sarah Sorribes first and Paula Badosa then fighting heroically to gain a point that neither one nor the other has achieved. On the day of Catalan’s 27th birthdaythat the fans sang the anniversary even after the defeat. He responded by drawing a heart on his hands. But everything is more bitter because he didn’t get the gift he wanted.
Players captained by Valencian Anabel Medina, from Torrent, who is leaving office after seven years, wore black crepe over a tracksuit with the legend ‘Fuerza Valencia’ printed on the back. A reminder to victims. There was also DANA in Malaga, on Wednesday, although fortunately there was another human and material result. Today’s opening is delayed Billie Jean King Cupa marathon Spain-Poland on Friday was postponed but with a bad result for the locals.
Sarah Sorribes, 28 years old and number 106, he was left without a prize after 3h.51′ of fighting with Magda Linette, 32 years old and number 38, winner 7-6 (6), 2-6 and 6-4. The veteran from Castellón was chosen at the expense of the Galician Jessica Bouzas22 years old and number 55, who will wait for another chance to debut.
Tried to force a tie Paula Badosa27 years old recently released and number 12, but his positive development in the second part of the season was not enough, when the back injury was controlled. In front of me is a classy opponent, Iga SwiatekNo. 23 and No. 2, after becoming No. 1 for many months, a position taken from it Aryna Sabalenka.
Swiatek, who reappeared at the WTA Finals after a month and a half away from the circuit and changed coaches, won 6-3, 6-7 (5) and 6-1 in 2h.38′.
Badass He came back from 0-3 and 2-4 down in the second set, but couldn’t handle Swiatek’s toughness, a wall when he was comfortable. One from Begur tried without success in the third race, the result of which was too much punishment for what he offered.
Spain, without options, Poland will go to the quarterfinals, against the Czech Republic this Saturday.
