The meeting was to start at 23 Polish time. The meeting time has been changed because it has already been postponed by half an hour.

– The weather in Cancun promises to be equally spectacular this weekend. It’s supposed to be better from Tuesday, but on Tuesday… the BJKC finals start in Seville, where teams of 6/8 WTA Finals participants play. Even when Iga, Coco and Pegula withdrew, the question was what about the rest. A total mess – wrote Dominik Senkowski, a journalist at Sport.pl, on Twitter.
