Ostapenko in Eastbourne also reaches the semifinals of the doubles

In the semi-finals, Ostapenko and Kichenoka are expected to meet with Chinese Xu Yifang and Jan Zhaozuan.

Ostapenko has earned 185 WTA doubles points for entering the semifinals.

Alexander Krunich of Serbia and Magda Linete of Poland have already made it to the finals, having to meet Serena Williams of America, whose return tournament is, and Ons Žabera of Tunisia in the semi-finals. The opponents will not leave the semifinals because Zabera has been injured.

It has already been reported that the Latvian-Ukrainian duo, which was not sown in the tournament, won the first round 4-6, 6-4, 10: 8 over the American Nikolai Melchar-Martines and the Chinese Jan Shui.

Last week, Ostapenko / Kitchenok triumphed in the doubles match at the WTA 250 in Birmingham. For the Latvian tennis player, this was the fifth WTA doubles title in his career.

At the beginning of the month, Ostapenko and Kichenok battled it out to the semifinals of the French Open Championship doubles tournament, both reaching this stage for the first time in their careers. In February, they competed in the final of the WTA 500 in Dubai, where they lost.

The Eastbourne tournament will run until the end of the week, and this is the last race before the Wimbledon Championship.
