Scheduled for Wednesday from 5:00 p.m. in Malaga, the opening match of the final phase of the BJK Cup between Poland and Spain has been postponed for two days due to the torrential rains expected in the region, the organizers announced. Because of “extreme weather conditions” and the alert launched by the authorities for several Spanish regions including Andalusia, the Poland-Spain match, which will notably pit Iga Swiatek and Paula Badosa, has been postponed to Friday November 15 at 10 a.m. (09:00 GMT), have indicated in a press release the organizers of the national team competition.
“This decision was taken based on recommendations from the authorities to guarantee the health and safety of participants and spectators,” they add. The first match of the BJK Cup, scheduled for Thursday at 10:00 a.m., will pit Japan against Romania. National meteorological office Aemet on Tuesday placed parts of Valencia, as well as Catalonia in the northeast, Andalusia in the south and the Balearic Islands on orange alert – the second highest level – for heavy or torrential rain until Thursday. This alert comes two weeks after an exceptional Mediterranean storm caused the deadliest floods Spain has seen in decades.
