Tournament hosts Spain will play Poland for a spot in the 2024 Billie Jean King Finals quarterfinal on Wednesday, November 13, 2024. Here's our Spain vs Poland Billie Jean King Cup Finals prediction. This article will also contain a Spain vs Poland pick.
Spain Billie Jean King Cup Team Facts
Spain are the tournament hosts for the 2024 Billie Jean King Cup Finals for a second year in a row. Therefore, they have been granted a spot among the 12 nations competing to win the women's team competition.
They are captained by Ana-Isabel Medina Garrigues who is a former WTA player with a career-high ranking of No. 16 in singles.
Spain's lineup for this tie is headed by Paula Badosa, whose return to form couldn't have been timely. She will be tasked to play Poland's top-ranked woman Iga Swiatek.
They have also included rising new star Jessica Bouzas Maneiro in their ranks, as well as experienced players like Sara Sorribes Tormo and Nuria Parrizas Diaz.
Spain are a five-time champion of the Billie Jean King Cup (formerly Fed Cup), although their last win was back in 1998.
Poland Billie Jean King Cup Team Facts
Poland have never won the Billie Jean Cup in their 42-year history of competing in this tournament.
They qualified for the Finals with a dominant 4-0 rout of Switzerland in April.
Iga Swiatek was instrumental in helping Poland's bid to qualify and has given her country a massive boost in winning the tournament by committing to play in Malaga this week.
Swiatek will be joined by Magdalena Frech, Magda Linette, Maja Chwalinska, and Katarzyna Kawa in a very strong Polish team.

Spain vs Poland Billie Jean King Cup Prediction
This is the standout tie before the quarterfinals. Will Spain make an impression this time on home soil? The inclusion of Swiatek in Poland's team will certainly tip the scales in the away team's favor here. The World No. 2's early exit from the WTA Finals will be a blessing in disguise, as she will arrive in Malaga with a charged battery. Poland's team has much more strength to dig out a gusty win in the tie and book a spot in the last eight.
