The Ukrainian Tennis Federation announced that the match between Ukraine and Japan will take place. This confrontation is scheduled for the Billie Jean King Cup. If you look at it, this is a kind of women's team World Tennis Championship. It will be held in the Odessa region. The city of Chornomorsk (Illichivsk) will receive it. It is scheduled for April 16-17. The hard fate of the upcoming match This meeting was supposed to take place back in 2020. The draw was in Japan's favor. But, here, as luck would have it, the Coronavirus attacked Mir. This led to the fact that the match was postponed to April 2021. Our team has started active preparation. Yes, you can play on clay, but in Japan it would be difficult for Ukrainian women. And then new news comes from Japan. It turns out that on the eve of the Olympics, Tokyo closed its borders to all guests combined. In particular, even athletes were no longer allowed to enter the state. It turned out to be a very curious situation. The Ukrainian federation announced last year that it was ready to host the match at the highest level. The Tennis Federation of Ukraine commented on the situation The functionaries indicated that at the end of last year they informed the ITF leadership that they could organize the game. Time passed, but there was no answer. Many experts assumed that the meeting would be postponed. But, thank God, the decision was made. Now the host of the meeting will be Chernomorsk. Intrigue of the upcoming meeting of the national teams Representatives of the Japanese national team said that the 2nd racket of the world, Naomi Osaka, should arrive in Ukraine. But the 5th racket of the World - Elina Svitolina - will play for the Ukrainian national team. Yes, Naomi was noted for winning the tournament in Australia. It will be very interesting to look at the opposition of the TOP tennis players of the World. Moreover, Elina will play at home. Well, here the walls will help. Where will the matches take place? An excellent tennis base has been created in Chernomorsk. Elite tennis club was founded in 2004. There are 7 outdoor and 2 indoor courts. 6 courts are covered with Red Clay. The tournament court can accommodate up to 600 spectators. The primer is organized using Roland Garros technology. All courts meet international quality standards and ITF and WTA requirements. A few words for the Billie Jean King Cup This is the largest competition in women's tennis. Until 2020, it was called the Federation Cup. But last year the tournament was renamed in honor of American tennis player Billie Jean King. This is a kind of women's team World Tennis Championship. Organized by the International Tennis Federation. I think that the Ukrainian national team has a chance to beat the Japanese national team. The confrontation between Svitolina and Osaka deserves special attention. I will talk about the vicissitudes of the confrontation on the pages of my channel. You can get to the matches themselves.
