The beginning of the week was very difficult: Paolini recounts her rise to victory in the BJK Cup

Jasmine Paolini shared how she overcame a challenging start to the competition to deliver her best match in the final against Pegula, securing Italy's sixth Billie Jean King Cup.

Italy claimed its sixth Billie Jean King Cup on Sunday, winning the event for the second consecutive year.

Led by an impeccable Jasmine Paolini throughout the week (3 wins in 3 matches), Italy dominated the United States in this final played in Shenzhen.

In a press conference, the Italian No. 1 admitted she gained momentum throughout the Final 8:

"The beginning of the week was very difficult. On the first day, I didn't feel very well on the court. Match after match, I felt better and better. Today was certainly my best match of the competition.

I felt super good, and I think that was the key to beating Pegula because she is a very strong player. I am very happy with this performance. We are proud of ourselves, of our team. It's a big day for Italy.

ITA Paolini, Jasmine
