Every time I see Olivia and Tereza play, I wonder why Tereza never gave singles a proper go. Not because you can purely see from her doubles play, but because I remember her beating Katie Swan to win the Aus Open Juniors and then having some success early on at WTA 125 (I think) level. I can't find any reporting on why she switched to doubles and stuck with it at such a young age. Does anyone know?

 Tereza had a singles CH of 349 back in 2018. She never had much further success after that, losing matches at lower levels. Her doubles rank was around 200, but the big jump came in 2021 and 2022.

Great to see from Olivia & Tereza.

Up to live ranked joint 24 as against their respective CHs of 23 and 27. Will go up to joint WR 21 if they win the final.

F:- Olivia Nicholls (GBR) / Tereza Mihalikova (SVK) CR54 (26+28) [4] v Ekaterina Alexandrova (***) / Maya Joint (AUS) CR99 (52+47 - singles 11+29)

I was expecting Kenin and Krawczyk CR70 to come through. Still a difficult one to call.

(Q) Bejlek into the singles final against (2) Alexandrova.

At least (3) Tauson gave her a match. 7-5 3-6 7-5

Bejlek wins the final with apparent ease. With what I witnessed when she brushed Sonay aside at will, Im not remotely surprised. Definitely one to watch
