With high spirits for the victory on Monday in a long and long tie against Slovakia, Spain faces this Wednesday (17:00, Teledeporte) the series against the United States with the advantage of depending on herself. If the girls captained by Anabel Medina win, they will be in the semifinals of the Billie Jean King Cup on Friday. They would also have options if they lose, because the Americans, with Rogers and Collins in singles, fell 2-1 to the Slovaks.
The great asset of the National Team, by ranking (37th) and moment of form, is Sara Sorribes, protagonist on the first day for her triumphs in singles and doubles with Carla Suárez as a couple. Both had a day of active rest yesterday, with moderate exercises and without tennis. Which suggests that they will be the chosen ones again to try to add a second success that would have merit and would demonstrate that the women’s Navy is in good health.
In the absence of its greatest exponents, Muguruza and Badosa, Sorribes has taken command and being seen as a leader does not bother her. “I get along well because I don’t really feel that way. We are a team, we all fight for the same thing and we have a high level. All I did was give the team a point and help in the doubles. “The 25-year-old from Castellón does recognize that her experience” is a degree. “” I have played more than Bolsava, Parrizas and Masarova. I have noticed that in the way of managing the games, the shots are more there. “
Good vibes
Also because of the good atmosphere in the team, fostered by Sorribes herself, who dedicated her victory against Schmiedlova to Carla, and by Medina, who on Monday gave a motivational talk to the Spanish expedition. “We deserve this, it is an opportunity that we earn, we have to give up our lives. United, together and as a team, we are very dangerous ”, harangued the Valencian. Sara confirms it. “That is very important, we are comfortable and it shows. We were all very excited to win. Besides, I love representing Spain ”. With that will and a prodigious physique, he will pull the car again.
