PARIS — Two Canadians who failed to make big runs in singles action at the French Open are making noise in doubles competition.
Leylah Fernandez of Laval, Que., advanced to the semifinals of the women’s doubles draw after teaming with American Taylor Townsend for a 6-3, 6-3 win over the Taiwanese tandem of Chan Hao-ching and older sister Latisha Chan.
Fernandez and Townsend converted all four of their break-point chances while defending five of the six breaks they faced in the win. However, she and Townsend have formed a successful partnership since joining forces in March, advancing to the final of the Miami Open and the semifinals of the Madrid Open. Both are WTA 1000 tournaments.
Andreescu, looking to reclaim the form that saw her win the 2019 U.S. Open and rise to No. 4 in the world, looked strong in her first two singles matches before crashing 6-1, 6-1 in a third-round loss to Ukraine’s Lesia Tsurenko. But the Canadian will be playing for a title after her semifinal win in the mixed event.
