winnipegfreepress.comLeylah Fernandez of Canada and Laura Siegemund of Germany advanced to the women's doubles final at the HSBC Championships at The Queen's Club in West London on Saturday. The pair received a walkover when scheduled opponents Iva Jovic and McCartney Kessler withdrew after Jovic lost in the singles semifinals.
Siegemund also advanced to the semifinals via walkover after Victoria Mboko withdrew from the event. Mboko had partnered with Serena Williams for a first-round win before announcing a knee injury that will sideline her for the rest of the grass-court season.
Siegemund will face Tereza Mihalikova of Slovakia and Olivia Nicholls of Britain in the final. A victory would give Fernandez her first WTA doubles title.
