Peng into maiden grand slam final
Print Edition
CHINESE player Peng Shuai is on the verge of her maiden grand slam title after progressing into the women’s doubles final at the Australian Open yesterday, a brilliant comeback after spending almost a year on the sidelines recovering from surgery on her left leg.
Peng and partner, Czech Andrea Hlavackova defeated the Open’s top seeds, French pairing Caroline Garcia and Kristina Mladenovic in a dominant 7-6(4), 6-2 victory.
The team now needs to dispatch second seeds American Bethanie Mattek-Sands and partner Lucie Safarova from the Czech Republic to claim the Australian Open crown after the US-Czech Republic pairing trounced Japan’s Eri Hozumi and Miyu Kato 6-2, 4-6, 6-4 in the semis.
The women’s doubles final ends a great Australian Open campaign for Peng after exiting the singles tournament in round two.
