Women's Tennis ITF Billie Jean King Cup 2024

[copravolley 323]

According to bookmakers Poland and Great Britain are the clear favorites in 1/2. Considering that Swiatek is playing here, it`s hard to belive that Poland will not win this. The Italians will have a difficult task tomorrow: to win 1 match in singles and reach the decisive doubles. Paolini has little chance in the Swiatek match, so a lot will depend on the match of the second players: Cocciaretto-Linette?

If anyone would have said to me that womens tennis team will be in the fed cup (however it is called now) in Semifinals in this decade I would never believe it.

Hell, we barely qualified one female to the olympics thanks reallocationns of reallocations... and now.. suddenly a cetain Rebecca landed from somewhere from the sky and we are in Semifinal ! Absolutely insane

Hantuchova was the best Slovakian tennis women player in history?

Raise your hand if you agree. It's a shame Hantuchova didn't have Cibulkova's mental fortitude though.

Why Schmidlova doesn`t play? I'm for Slovakia, because it's an easier opponent than UK in final. UK has 2 strong players from the top 100. Slovakia only 1 if Schmidlova doesn't play.

Errani's serve is terrible... She served much better when she had good results in singles some years ago.

This time losing in the final will be a big disappointment for me... Especially since Poland and the Czech Republic are out. Everything depends on Paolini, who can/must win the singles and doubles in the final. The big problem is with Errani's tragic serve... If she served at Paolini's level Italy's chances would be much greater.
