08:45 – The final tournament of the Billie Jean King Cup will start on Wednesday evening in Málaga, Spain, with the first eight-final duel, in which the home Spanish women, led by Paula Badosa, will face the Polish women, who rely mainly on world number two Iga Šwiateková.

And that despite the fact that it is played in the hall.
The Council of the City of Málaga has suspended the activities of civic centers, public service centers, museums, libraries and sports facilities in view of the warnings of meteorologists against the continuing storm Dana, which destroys the affected areas with flash floods. It is still uncertain whether the ruling will also affect the tennis event held at the Palacio de Deportes Jose Maria Martin Carpena Arena.
