The Chan sisters yesterday claimed their fourth doubles title of the season at the Pan Pacific Open after they edged a tight all-Taiwanese showdown at the rain-affected tournament in Osaka, Japan.
Second seeds Chan Hao-ching and Latisha Chan added to their titles in Hobart, Australia; Doha; and Eastbourne, England, earlier this year after battling to a 7-5, 7-5 victory over fellow Taiwanese sisters Hsieh Su-wei and Hsieh Yu-chieh in 1 hour, 35 minutes.
In a Taiwanese family affair, the Taipei natives saved nine of 13 break points and converted six of 12, winning 72 of the 140 points contested to deny the Kaohsiung-born Hsieh sisters their first career title as a pairing.
It was the Chan sisters’ 14th career WTA Tour doubles title. [FULL STORY]
