The Chan sisters survived a scare to advance to the quarter-finals of the doubles at the Aegon Open in Nottingham, England, on Wednesday, but fellow Taiwanese Hsieh Su-wei crashed out of the second round of the singles after being outplayed by Alison Riske.

Chan Hao-ching and Chan Yung-jan had to rally from a set down and survive a match point in the super tiebreak before completing a 4-6, 6-3, 13-11 victory over Raluca Olaru of Romania and Anna Tatishvili of the US in the first round of the doubles on the grass courts at the Nottingham Tennis Centre.

The top seeds saved seven of nine break points and converted two of four, winning 69 of the 134 points contested to wrap up the victory in 1 hour, 26 minutes.

The Taiwanese pairing were due to take on Andrea Hlavackova of the Czech Republic and Peng Shuai of China in the quarter-finals in the final match scheduled for Court 1 yesterday.     [FULL  STORY]
