King cup

Billy Jean King Cup: Injured Spanish tennis player Paula Badosa is looking forward to returning to action in the Billy Jean King Cup, which begins in the Spanish city of Seville on Tuesday.

The most important tournament for teams in women's tennis sees Spain, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Australia, Slovenia, Canada, France, Italy, the United States, Poland, Germany and Kazakhstan battle it out in the Estadio de la Cartuja.

The tournament gives 25-year-old Badosa a chance to end the season on a high note, as a back injury that saw her out of her second-round tie at Wimbledon and slip down to 56th in the world rankings after peaking at No. 2, reports Xinhua.
