Ukrainian tennis player Ludmila Kichenok made it to the quarterfinals of the doubles tournament WTA 1000 in the Canadian Monreale.
Lyudmila, paired with Elena Ostapenko from Latvia, defeated the duet of Magda Linett / Bernard Pera (Poland / USA). The meeting lasted an hour and a half of pure time and was interrupted due to prolonged rain.
The first set went to Lynette and Pera. In the second set, Kichenok and Ostapenko won without losing a single game on their serve. At the super tie-break, the Ukrainian and the Latvian took advantage at the beginning and brought the match to victory.
Recall that in the first round, Lyudmila and Elena passed the tandem Eugenie Bouchard / Rebecca Marino (both from Canada). In the quarterfinals, their rivals will be the winners of the confrontation between Marta Kostyuk / Zhang Shuai (Ukraine / China) – Storm Hunter / Elise Mertens (Australia / Belgium, 2).
