Scheduled for Wednesday from 5:00 p.m. in Malaga, the opening match of the final phase of the Billie Jean King Cup between Poland and Spain is postponed to Friday. Torrential rains expected in the region are the cause, organizers announced.
Due to “extreme weather conditions” and the alert issued 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 10:00 a.m., the organizers of the national team competition said in a press release.
“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.
Orange alert
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.
