39 Polish players applied for the 24th International Women’s Tennis Tournament Bella Cup 2018 in Toruń. Winners of the past editions are also willing to join the competition.

Incredible tennis event is getting closer. We are only days away from the beginning of the 24th Bella Cup, ITF tournament with prize pool of 25 000 $ + hospitality. More details were announced on the first press conference of the upcoming event.

One of the Polish players stepping on the Bella Cup courts this year is Katarzyna Kawa. She has triumphed in a similar rank tournament just days ago in Portuguese Obidos.

‘Those years when I took a part in the tournaments in Toruń, everything was organized perfectly. That tournament is very similar to the ones in higher rankings. It is a great comfort for the players. I am very happy that I can join a tournament in front of Polish fans again.’

– said Katarzyna Kawa.

Invitation was also accepted by Katarzyna Piter, representing Poland in the FED Cup. We already saw her on the Bella Cup courts, including the 2013 tournament, when she reached the finale, but lost with Paula Kania.

There are 39 Polish players amongst the 330 who applied to join the 24th International Women’s Tennis Tournament, with Urszula Radwańska, Iga Świątek and Maja Chwalińska. Also, all the winners of the last three Balla Cup editions joined the tournament: Kristina Kucova from Slovakia, Isabella Shinikova from Bulgaria and last year champion, Chantal Skamlova from Slovakia.

– informed the tournament’s director, Renata Sokołowska.
