Taiwanese sisters Chan Hao-ching and Latisha Chan on Tuesday crashed out of the quarter-finals of the women’s doubles at the Miami Open, while Juan Martin del Potro’s return to form continued in the men’s singles.
The second-seeded Chan sisters fell to a 2-6, 6-4, 13-11 defeat to Czech sixth seeds Barbora Krejcikova and Katerina Siniakova in 1 hour, 31 minutes.
The Taiwanese duo failed to save any of the four break points they faced, despite winning five of six break points and winning 66 of the 129 points contested in the match.
In the other quarter-final, Russian top seeds Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina pulled off an emotional win, sporting black ribbons to commemorate the deaths of at least 64 people — 41 of them children — at a Siberian shopping mall on Sunday in their 6-2, 6-4 victory over Lyudmyla Kichenok of Ukraine and Alla Kudryavtseva of Russia.
