Unfortunately, after a fierce three-set battle, they lost 6-3, 4-6, 4-10, missing out on a spot in the semifinals.
The Madrid Open is a WTA 1000-level tournament. Taiwanese star Hsieh Su-wei, returning to the court after a two-month break, partnered with American player Sofia Kenin for the first time in her career, earning the seventh seed in women's doubles.
Hsieh Su-wei and Kenin faced the Serbian Aleksandra Krunic and French Kristina Mladenovic combination in the quarterfinals today.
In the first set, the Taiwanese-American pair performed exceptionally well. After both sides held serve once at the start, Hsieh Su-wei and Kenin continuously held their serves and broke their opponents' serves twice, quickly gaining a 5-1 advantage and smoothly taking the first set 6-3.
