And it makes me sad,\u201d the Pole said on Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m very sorry, because I play for Poland whenever it\u2019s possible and I always give it my best. Playing in Poland this year was an honour and I hoped to do this again at the end of the season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m disappointed that tennis governing bodies didn\u2019t come to an agreement on something as basic as the calendar of tournaments, giving us only one day to travel through the globe and changing the time zone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the WTA Finals are organised by the women\u2019s tennis body, the Billie Jean King Cup \u2014 previously known as the Federation Cup \u2014 is run by the International Tennis Federation (ITF).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis situation is not safe for our health and could cause injury. I\u2019m going to talk to the WTA and ITF in order to change something,\u201d Swiatek added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis situation is difficult not only for the players like me, but mainly for the tennis fans that support our sport.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Billie Jean King Cup will have 12 teams competing in four round-robin groups of three teams each, with the group winners moving to the semi-finals. Poland are in Group D with the Czech Republic and the United States.<\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Rohith Nair in Bengaluru; Editing by Christian Radnedge)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/uncategorized\/tennis-swiatek-to-skip-billie\/attachment\/u-s-open\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI920GU-BASEIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI920GU-BASEIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Reuters) \u2013 Iga Swiatek will not play for Poland in next month\u2019s Billie Jean King Cup finals in Glasgow, the world number one said on Monday as she took issue<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1669328","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1669328","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1669328"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1669328\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1669328"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1669328"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1669328"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
