Billie Jean King is disappointed with Iga Swiatek’s decision to skip the prestigious team event named after her.
The Billie Jean King Cup finals will commence on November 8, just a day after the ongoing WTA Finals is set to conclude.
Swiatek was due to represent her native Poland in the finals, but claimed she would be unable to recover in time after the season-ending championships, which is being held in Fort Worth, Texas this year. The world number one said it was a tough decision for her to make and while King understands the choice she made, the American stated she would have opted for a different approach.
