Olympic gold medalists Sara Errani, Jasmine Paolini help Italy beat Poland 2-1 at Billie Jean King Cup
Jasmine Paolini and Sara Errani of Team Italy celebrate winning their doubles match against Iga Swiatek and Katarzyna Kawa of Team Poland in the semi-final tie between Poland and Italy during the Billie Jean King Cup Finals at Palacio de Deportes Jose Maria Martin Carpena on Nov. 18, 2024 in Malaga, Spain.
Paolini, who has never beaten world No. 2 Swiatek in their three previous attempts, including a 6-2, 6-1 defeat to the Polish juggernaut in the French Open final in June, started well and won the first set. It was a rare doubles performance for the five-time Grand Slam singles champion Swiatek, who played her first Billie Jean King Cup doubles match since 2019 on Saturday, when she and Kawa beat Czech Republic in the quarter-finals to advance to the final four for the first time.
The Italians saved three set points in the first set, and rallied from a 5-1 deficit in set two, to finally close a 7-5, 7-5 win and advance to the final for a seventh time and second year in a row, having lost to Canada in 2023.
