Lucia Bronzetti won the first point of the series against Poland on Monday in the semifinals of the Billie Jean King Cup to be held in Malaga, by beating Magda Linette 6-4 and 7-6(3), so the Poles once again put their trust in their number one, Iga Swiatek, to try to break the tie.
Italy struck first in the first semi-final of this world cup and, as in the quarter-finals, Poland left its survival in this Davis Cup in the hands of world number two, Iga Swiatek.
Lucia Bronzetti, in 78th place in the ranking of the women’s circuit, won with great merit against a rival who was located forty positions above her and who, in addition, had to beat the Spaniard Sara Sorribes in the round of 16, in a battle that lasted nearly four. time.
The Italian won the first set 6-4 and took the second in ‘sudden death’ 7-6 (3). Thus, the current World Cup runner-up is one step closer to the final, which she can achieve if her compatriot Jasmine Paolini defeats the Polish leader Iga Siwatek in the second round.
It was a kind of early final between the two best players of this Billie Jean King Cup, with Swiatek second in the world and Paolini in fourth place, and both have been unbeaten in competitionwho won all their matches (three Iga, two Paolini), both singles and doubles.
Should Swiatek win, He will likely repeat the doubles as he did in the quarterfinals against the Czech Republic, the same thing Paolini will also play with Sara Errani.where he won a gold medal at the Paris Olympics.
