Muchová and Nosková got together in Paris after the injured Markéta Vondroušová withdrew. They reached the semi-finals after three hard-fought wins, each time they turned the duels around and succeeded in a super tie-break. However, Errani and Paolini did not reverse the unfavorable development against the seeded threes. Suzanne Lenglen lost the clay court match in 68 minutes.

The representatives, who remained the last Czech representatives in the women’s doubles after the failure of the reigning champions Barbora Krejčíková and Kateřina Siniaková in the quarterfinals, did not convert even one of the three break points. This year’s Roland Garros finalists Errani and Paolini, on the other hand, used all three opportunities to break the Česk’s serve.
The Czech players only lost the first set at the end, they lost the eighth game on the serve of Muchová. Also in the second set, Erraniová and Paoliniová won breaks on the serve of last year’s Roland Garros finalist. First they succeeded in the third and then in the seventh game.
The Czechs tried to avoid the loss and had only three break points in the match at 2:5. But the 40:0 lead did not reach the gamut and Errani served the duel to advance.
Among the Czech tennis players in Paris on Friday, Tomáš Macháč and Kateřina Siniaková will also compete in the mixed doubles final. In the fight for the gold, they will meet the Chinese couple Zhang Chi-chen and Wang Sin-yu.
