There are just two matchdays left before the start of the Billie Jean King Cup 2024. As the host team, the Spanish squad will be the first to debut on Wednesday against Poland's Iga Swiatek. Nuria Párrizas, Sara Sorribes, Paula Badosa, Jessica Bouzas, Marina Bassols, and their captain, Anabel Medina, spoke to the media to discuss current tennis, their feelings ahead of their debut in Malaga, and Cristina Bucsa's last-minute withdrawal.

Change in tennis dynamics

"I think tennis is becoming faster, more physical, and played much more aggressively. The serve is very important, especially the first shots. Personally, it's something I'm trying to change and improve every day. As you can see, the best players in the world are playing that game. Tennis is evolving more and more in that direction," explained Paula in a press conference.

Badosa and Bouzas, recovered from physical problems

Both Paula and Jessica ended the Asian tour with injuries, but both have had enough time to fully recover. "We are doing great," said Badosa without any doubt. "Eager to start. It has been two or three weeks already, and we both feel perfect to play." Bouzas agreed, saying, "There is recovery time, and we are training well. We will give our all whenever we can."

Cristina Bucsa's last-minute withdrawal

"We found out very close to needing to travel here," explained Anabel Medina. "She had suffered this injury in the last tournament of the Asian tour. She was trying to recover until the last moment, but she was honest with me and the team. She realized she wasn't at 100% and that coming would be taking a spot from a player who could be at 100%. Cristina has had a very good year and was a possible doubles player. It caught us off guard, but we have to accept that's how sports are."
