BJK Cup: there is Jasmine Paolini, Sara Errani returns

Sara Errani re-embraces the blue colors

Jasmine Paolini, Sara Errani (who returns to the Italian national team after a full five years), Martina Trevisan, Elisabetta Cocciaretto and Lucia Bronzetti are the five athletes summoned by captain Tathiana Garbin for the Billie Jean King Cup Finals, scheduled from November 13 to 20 in Malaga.

"As always, I weighed a multitude of aspects in my choices, including the girls’ state of form and ranking at this time. It's clear that the picture could change between now and November, as so many WTA tournaments separate us from the BJK Cup Finals. Regardless of who will represent Italy in Malaga, ours è an extremely cohesive group, I can count on many extraordinary girls" began the Italian captain.

" We are a close-knit group, a family as we already proved last year in Seville, when we took the Azzurri national team back to the final after ten years. And it is precisely from that ride that we want to start again. We are honored and overjoyed to be able to return to represent our country in such a prestigious competition, in a historically exceptional moment for Italian tennis. We will give, once again, everything we have for this jersey to confirm ourselves at the highest level" added Tathiana Garbin.

Italy will make its debut at the BJK Cup Finals on Saturday, November 16 in the quarterfinals against the winner of the match between Japan and Romania.
