Poland knocked out Spain from the Billie Jean King Cup 2024 by winning both singles matches, leaving the overall score of the tie at 2-0. Nothing can be reproached to either Sara Sorribes or Paula Badosa, who gave their all to fight to stay in the competition.

After a spectacular and emotion-filled match from start to finish, Sara Sorribes succumbed in the third set against Magda Linette in a match that seemed poised to last nearly four hours.

Following the break after the first match, Spain's fate rested on the shoulders of Paula Badosa, who faced a challenging task ahead. With no fear of Iga taking control of the points, Paula resisted both defensively and offensively, with a powerful serve that helped her out of tough situations. With cleverness to surprise as well, breaking the rhythm with drop shots, Badosa made her intentions clear from the beginning of the match, while Swiatek struggled to break down the wall in front of her.

Badosa stands up to Swiatek, but it is not enough

Patient from the other side of the net, the Polish player seized her opportunities on the return to take the lead and play with the advantage, which was enough to win the first set in less than 50 minutes. The break came sooner in the second set, although the Spanish player revived hope in the stands with a break back that leveled the score.

The joy for the Spanish team was short-lived as Iga quickly regained the lead. Amid the back and forth from both players, Paula had the chance to go up 5-4 with a break and serve for the second set, but the world number two fought back to not relinquish control to her opponent.

Continuing the trend of the first clash in the tie, Iga and Paula faced off in a tiebreak where both the Polish and the Spanish player had their opportunities, yet it was ultimately Paula who forced a third set, keeping Spain alive.

Badosa was already feeling the high demands of her opponent, who now led comfortably on the scoreboard. Swiatek did not lose focus, forcing errors from her opponent to secure her victory by 6-3, 6-7(5), and 6-1 and Poland's qualification for the next round of the Billie Jean King Cup 2024.
