The Billie Jean King Cup Finals match between Spain and Poland faced postponement on Wednesday due to severe weather in the Malaga region.

Organizers, prioritizing safety as advised by local authorities, announced the first-round tie would move to Friday. Germany will also compete against Britain that day. Scheduled Thursday matches include Japan versus Romania and Slovakia against the United States.

The events occur as the city also prepares for the Davis Cup Finals next week. A recent storm in the Valencia region caused flash floods, resulting in over 200 fatalities. The International Tennis Federation pledged a donation to aid recovery, matched by Spanish player Paula Badosa, who will donate part of her prize winnings to storm victims.
