Iga Swiatek has beaten Paula Badosa in three sets and Poland has knocked out host Spain 2-0 in the opening round of the Billie Jean King Cup Finals in Malaga.

Iga Swiatek won in singles and doubles to lead Poland's 2-1 comeback against Czechia in the Billie Jean King Cup on Saturday. Poland will play Italy in the semifinals.

It means their quarter-final tie will be decided by doubles, which Swiatek will also play – her first doubles match at the Billie Jean King Cup since 2019 – as they aim to try and win the title for the first time. The winner of that tie will face Italy in the semi-final, with Jasmine Paolini leading them into the final four.
