Tennis News
The match between Spain and Poland of the Billie Jean King Cup has been postponed. Malaga and its province are on red alert for torrential rains since 3:00 a.m. this Wednesday, November 13.
More than 3,000 people have been evacuated from areas near the Guadalhorce River as a precautionary measure. The AEMET has activated the alert throughout the day, which has led to the suspension of classes and sports activities, affecting teams such as Malaga soccer and Unicaja basketball.
The start of the Billie Jean King Cup, scheduled for today at the José María Martín Carpena Pavilion with the match between Spain and Poland, has been affected. The International Tennis Federation (ITF) had warned about the possibility of postponement: "A decision will be made this morning, the priority is the safety of all involved.
The Malaga political institutions have evaluated the weather situation and, after canceling the training sessions scheduled between 10:00 and 14:00 hours, they have also done so with the duels that were to start at 5:00 pm with Paula Badosa and Iga Swiatek as big stars.
Thus, this Wednesday, November 13, should have been played the elimination of Paula Badosa's Spain and Iga Swiatek's Poland in a Martin Carpena that has dawned lashed by the rains. It has been announced as follows:
"Due to a weather alert from the regional authorities, the BJK Cup Finals first round clash between Spain and Poland, which was originally scheduled to take place on November 13 at 5 p.m., has been postponed. The duel will take place on Friday, November 15 at 10 a.m. .
The decision has been taken based on the guidelines of the competent authorities to ensure the safety and health of the participants and the public. We apologize for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your cooperation and understanding."
