The world number two talks about Paula's great comeback this season: "Someone with that determination deserves it".
Billie Jean King Cup 2024
Paula Badosa is very aware of the difficult situation being experienced in Valencia due to the disasters caused by the DANA and wants to continue helping as much as possible. After having donated money in the days following the event, she has announced on social media that she will dedicate half of the prize money she receives for participating in the BJK Cup 2024. This amounts to $450,000, so the Spanish player will send a total of $225,000 to the authorities responsible for allocating the money in aid. If Spain progresses in the competition, she may continue sending money.
Looking forward to representing my country but not forgetting what's truly important at this time. I will donate 50% of my prize money from this round to the people affected by the DANA in Valencia. Lots of encouragement to all those people 🇪🇸❤️ See you on Wednesday. pic.twitter.com/8H8UlvmvNP

Paula Badosa, Jessica Bouzas, Nuria Párrizas, and Sara Sorribes keep their spots in a cast that dreams of making a statement in this final event of the calendar.

The Spanish player is clear about where this sport is heading in the future: "Serve is very important, as well as the first shots".
Each talk about how they experienced their rapid rise to the top of tennis, in addition to discussing their presence at the Billie Jean King Cup 2024.
After missing the event for a few years due to the complexity of the calendar in its final stretch, Iga Swiatek just announced that this November she will indeed be present at the Billie Jean King Cup Finals in Málaga to lead the Polish team to victory. A piece of great news for her country, the event, and everyone except Spain, as the first match for Anabel Medina's team will be against them. Beyond the draw, it's a joy to see the current World No. 2 regain that commitment to the world's most important team competition.
🎾 See you in Malaga! I'm glad to let you know today that I will play in the Billie Jean King Cup finals. I'm very happy to be able to play for my country and proudly represent Poland as always. Together with the whole team, we will give our all and simply play the best... pic.twitter.com/E6hTpv8nTb
