MOSCOW, Oct 3 World No. 1 Pole Iga Sventek has withdrawn from participation in Billie Jean King Cup. The final tournament of the Billie Jean King Cup will be held in Glasgow (Scotland) from November 8 to 13 and starts just one day after the end of the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) Finals in Fort Worth (USA), where Schwentek qualified.» «After much thought and discussion with the team, I have decided that I will not play at the Billie Jean King Cup in Glasgow. I am sad about this. I am very sorry, because I play for Poland wherever possible and always give my best. I am disappointed with that that tennis officials did not come to an agreement on the tournament calendar, leaving us only one day to fly to another time zone. This is unsafe for health and can lead to injury. This is a difficult situation not only for the players, but also for the fans, «wrote tennis player on Instagram (active Meta (social networks Facebook and Instagram) is banned in Russia as extremist). The current winner of the tournament is the Russian team. Russian athletes have the right to take part in tournaments of the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) and the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) in a neutral status.
