Poland Reaches Billie Jean King Cup Semifinals

Jannik Sinner has avoided a drugs ban after a tribunal in London determined that two failed tests for a banned substance were due to contamination from a massage by his physiotherapist. The tribunal found that Sinner bore 'no fault or negligence', with three independent experts confirming that the minuscule dose detected did not enhance his performance. Meanwhile, Iga Swiatek has expressed her elation after leading Poland to its first-ever semi-final in the Billie Jean King Cup following a hard-fought victory over the Czech Republic. Swiatek secured a vital singles win and teamed up in doubles to clinch the match 2-1. She described the experience as a 'dream come true' and emphasized the importance of teamwork throughout the tournament. This marks a significant moment in Polish tennis history, as the team celebrates reaching the top four for the first time.
