Ukrainian and Latvian rivals Daria Kasatkina and Daria Seville withdrew from the competition
Ukrainian tennis player Lyudmila Kichenok And Elena Ostapenko from Latvia reached the final of the tournament without a fight WTA 500 V Brisbane (Australia).
The Ukrainian and Latvian were waiting for their opponents, who had not yet played the quarterfinals. However, first Anastasia Potapova and Yana Sizikova refused to fight, which automatically brought the duo Daria Kasatkina / Daria Seville into the semifinals. And then Kasatkina and Seville withdrew from the tournament and left a pass to the finals for Kichenok and Ostapenko.
The Ukrainian and Latvian in the first round defeated the Russians Ekaterina Alexandrova and Anna Kalinskaya, who competed under a neutral flag. The pair then completed the duet Magda Linette/Bernarda Pera (Poland/USA).
In the decisive match of the tournament, Lyudmila and Elena will meet the tandem of Gret Minnen (Belgium) / Heather Watson (Great Britain). Let us remind you that earlier the Belgian and the British eliminated Nadezhda Kichenok and Danielle Collins in the quarterfinals of the tournament in Brisbane.
