Poland Advances to Billie Jean King Cup Quarterfinals

Iga Swiatek led Poland to a historic 2-0 victory over Spain in the Billie Jean King Cup Finals, securing their spot in the quarter-finals for the first time. Swiatek's win over Paula Badosa followed Magda Linette's intense match against Sara Sorribes Tormo, which lasted nearly four hours. Poland will face the Czech Republic in the quarter-finals, while Slovakia upset the United States 2-1 to advance and will meet Australia next. Japan also reached the quarter-finals for the first time since 2013, defeating Romania 2-1. The tournament faced delays due to severe weather alerts in the Malaga region, prompting rescheduling of matches. The International Tennis Federation has pledged support for victims of recent storms that affected Spain.
