The Ukrainians were defeated by Ulrikke Eikeri and Makoto Ninomiya
Ukrainian tennis players Maria And Nadezhda Kolb were defeated in the quarterfinals of the doubles tournament WTA 250 V Hong Kong from the Norwegian-Japanese duo Ulrikke Eikeri And Makoto Ninomiya.
The match lasted 1 hour and 27 minutes. In the opening game, the audience saw a real “swing” – each side took four games on their opponents’ serve, and in the end they had to resort to a tiebreaker. Eikeri and Ninomiya had a more successful performance – they made two mini-breaks against one from Maria and Nadezhda Kolb.
The second set did not go well for the Ukrainians from the very start. They lost 1:5, allowing their opponents to lead with two breaks. Maria and Nadezhda eventually lost 2:6, completing their elimination from the tournament in Hong Kong.
Ulrikke Eikeri and Makoto Ninomiya in the semi-finals will face the winners of the confrontation Margarita Betova / Tatyana Prozorova (both in “neutral” status) – Tereza Mihalikova (Slovakia) / Olivia Nicholls (Great Britain).
