I hope Magda will be selected, really. The three best Polish singles players and a double specialist would be enough. I have nothing against Jans and Rosolska but we all know that only one of them plays (partnering Aga) when the doubles turns out to be decisive, especially against a team like USA...

Does this mean that she has been selected in the team already? Or that she will be there even as a spectator... She's going to play an ITF there next week so she will be there anyway.
Still hoping for Linette to play, she needs it for the Olympics...

Indeed, Magda is a late entry into 50k Maui qualies. Weird to see her playing these rounds when she would be actually top seed in the main draw (and will be if MD is not released too soon) ^^"
But Fed Cup is actually on her official calendar anyway (cf/ her website) :cheer:

First tie with Klaudia as a captain, first time there is no Radwanska sister.
No Radwanska sister ! :eek::eek::eek:

What is Aga`s excuse not to play ?

official polish Fed Cup team vs USA: Magda Linette, Paula Kania, Alicja Rosolska and Klaudia Jans-Ignacik.
Such a weak team :facepalm:

Yes, but at least she won at the end... Though I was very afraid at 4-4 in third set :tape: :unsure: She seems to have struggled on her serve today... She's going to have a good first round in main draw whatever her placement, she'd better take advantage of it to adjust her game.

As for Aga not playing this time, I'm sure she will be there for the next tie anyway... I'm not too mad at her actually, she has played every single tie since forever and deserves some rest after all :) And Linette and Kania can play that way.

Ala and Klaudia have been part of the team since like forever, nothing new ^^ Well, without Aga and Ula I have no real problem with that anyway. The next singles players are Piter and Kawa who are not in great shape (especially Kasia P.), so... Why not picking Ala/Klaudia again after all.

Jans-Ignacik ready for double duty in Hawaii

When Klaudia Jans-Ignacik discovered that the Polish Tennis Association wanted her to be Fed Cup by BNP Paribas she admitted that she "couldn’t sleep for three nights."

That might not be the reaction that you would expect but it goes some way to explain just how big a moment it was for Poland's playing captain.

"I was wondering whether I could be a captain because I know all the players very well," explained Jans-Ignacik. "They’re my friends. When I announced this news to my players they were all happy and they agreed and that made me proud of myself. I also get lots of energy because of their support.

Becoming captain fulfils a lifelong ambition for the 31-year-old from Warsaw, who now specalises in doubles and is ranked No. 40 in the world.

Jans-Ignacik still spends lots of time around all of the top players on tour and she she is hoping that her first-hand knowledge will play into her hands when it comes to what advice she can offer from the captain's chair.

"I know all the players," she said. "Being a captain is a different thing than being a coach. I don’t need to coach my players, I just need to create a good atmosphere. That for me is the most important thing."

Poland's new skipper faces a very tough first assignment away to USA against a team that includes Venus Williams and Sloane Stephens.

“It will be not an easy tie for us," added Jans-Ignacik. "Their team will be very strong and there will also be a woman captain. We will give our best.

“We know that it’s very important match for us to stay in this Group. [It] would be great to win the match and go up. We really don’t want to go down. It’s very, very hard to get back to the World Group. We’re already thinking that this is not going to happen.”
