Kudrmetovov (5th) and Mertensova (9th) start for the first time in this team at the top of the season. They only played one tournament together last year, but they won the title in Istanbul. Maybe that’s why they have joined the words permanently for the current season. The Russian-Belgian couple triumphed in the Dubai hole. He has since reached the finals (Dauh, Miami, Herotgenbosch), but he hasn’t broken the trophy collection. In Fort Worth, however, the tyke lined up, just like their Finnish counterparts, did not lose. In the groups, they subsequently defeated Ukraine Kienokova and Lotyka Ostapenko 3: 6, 6: 1 and 10: 6, Kazakh Danilin and Brazilian Haddad Mai 6: 4 and 6: 3, and 7: 6 (5) and 6 : 2 Mexican Kanaan Dabrowska and Olmos. After a regular 6: 1 triumph over Amerianka Krawczyková and Schuursová from the Netherlands, they made it to the semi-finals.
