The Ukrainians were able to win only one game against the “neutrals” Schneider and Andreeva
Ukrainian tennis players Marta Kostyuk And Lyudmila Kichenok lost to “neutrals” Diane Schneider And Mirra Andreeva in the second round doubles tournament WTA 1000 V Beijing.
The match lasted only 50 minutes. The Ukrainians took the opening game on their own serve, after which the opponents completely dominated on the court. Kostyuk and Kichenok lost the first set with a score of 1:6, and the second – 0:6.
Let us remember that it was Schneider who knocked out Kostyuk in the quarter finals of the singles of the WTA 500 tournament in Seoul, which took place in mid-September. In the singles tournament in Beijing, Marta dropped out in the first round, losing to American Katie Volynets.
Initially, Lyudmila Kichenok was supposed to play in Beijing together with Elena Ostapenko, but the Latvian refused to participate in the tournament due to an injury to her abdominal muscles. Lyudmila, together with Elena, became champions in the doubles US Open 2024 in early September – for Lyudmila this was the second Grand Slam series title in her career.
