Maja Chwalinska withdraws from Billie Jean King Cup Play-Offs

Posting a frustrating message on her Instagram, Chwalinska wrote: “After a lot of thought, I’ve made the difficult decision not to play the BJK Cup this time. It’s been a very intense season, both physically and mentally, and I’m still dealing with some health issues.

“As much as I would love to be out there competing and representing my country, the truth is that I’m just not ready to give it my all yet. It’s not an easy decision but sometimes the most important thing is to listen to your body, be patient and give yourself the time you need to recover properly.

“I’m grateful for everyone’s understanding and support, and I’ll keep working towards feeling 100% again. Wishing the team [Poland] all the best at the BJK Cup.”

Led by captain Dawid Celt, Poland will play against Sweden in Wloclawek. Currently ranked 12th on the WTA Tour, Chwalinska was the highest-ranked player across the entire tie. The two nations have met seven times throughout the years, with Poland boasting a 5-2 win-loss record.

It’s been a truly fantastic WTA season for Chwalinska, who has claimed one title and recently reached a career-high rank of 11. She has claimed 39 wins and suffered 17 losses, with the highs certainly outweighing the lows.

The 25-year-old stormed to the title in Wuhan, but earlier in the season also reached her first-ever Grand Slam final. She met teenage star Mirra Andreeva in the French Open final, with the Russian triumphing 6-3, 6-2 in Paris for her first Grand Slam title.
