Spain is ready to take on a great challenge. Carla Suarez Navarro and her team, strengthened by the return of Paula Badosa, are preparing to face Ukraine in the Billie Jean King Cup quarterfinals.

This Wednesday, the second quarterfinal of the Billie Jean King Cup takes place in Shenzhen between Ukraine and Spain. For this match, captain Carla Suarez Navarro will be able to count on the presence of Paula Badosa, who has been absent from the circuit since Wimbledon and seems to have recovered from her back problems.

This is good news for the Spanish team, which will want to emulate the performance of the men last weekend in the Davis Cup. Moreover, Suarez Navarro, a former world No. 6 in singles, has expressed the desire to draw inspiration from the comeback by David Ferrer's team, who were down 2-0 to Denmark in Marbella before winning the decisive fifth match.

"We are happy to be here. The hardest part is probably the time zone change. But we've been here for four days now. We are training well. It is certain that the match against Ukraine will be very difficult.

They have good singles players, but they are also good in doubles. We know these players well. But, you know, you can never be sure of anything. There are always surprises in team competitions.

We are training, we want to be ready. It's difficult, but we also want to have fun. We saw how the Spanish men's team managed to come back from a 0-2 score in the Davis Cup.

We are very happy for the boys. Of course, it will help us this week, because it's very inspiring, it’s a source of motivation," she assured for the BJK Cup media in recent hours.
