Spectacular tie we witnessed this Monday between Poland and Italy that ended on Tuesday. Italy took it 2-1, with drama and suspense throughout. The series began with a resounding victory by Lucia Bronzetti over Magda Linette (6-4, 7-6), putting pressure on Iga Swiatek to step up once again. The World No. 2 fulfilled her duty by equalizing the tie after defeating Jasmine Paolini (3-6, 6-4, 6-4), but the doubles match had a different story. Swiatek and Kawa took the court once more, but were unable to overcome Olympic champions, Sara Errani and Paolini herself (7-5, 7-5). Twelve months later, Italy is back in the final of the Billie Jean King Cup, where they will face either Great Britain or Slovakia.
