Canada’s Leylah Fernandez and partner Laura Siegemund of Germany advanced to the women’s doubles final at the HSBC Championships after another walkover at The Queen’s Club in West London on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Fernandez and Siegemund were scheduled to face Americans Iva Jovic and McCartney Kessler, but Jovic withdrew after losing 6-2, 6-2 to Britain’s Emma Raducanu in the singles semifinals earlier in the day.<\/p>\n

The pair will now meet Slovakia’s Tereza Mihalikova and Britain’s Olivia Nicholls in Sunday’s final.<\/p>\n

Fernandez, from Laval, Que., and Siegemund also advanced via walkover to the semifinals after Canadian star Victoria Mboko withdrew from the WTA 500 event, halting a much-hyped doubles partnership with 44-year-old tennis legend Serena Williams.<\/p>\n

Williams returned to competitive tennis this week after nearly four years away, teaming with Mboko for a 7-6 (2), 6-2 win over Erin Routliffe of New Zealand and Nicole Melichar-Martinez of the United States.<\/p>\n

The 19-year-old Mboko announced Friday she would miss the rest of the grass-court season, including Wimbledon, due to a knee injury.<\/p>\n

Fernandez, ranked 23rd in women’s singles, could secure her first WTA doubles title with a victory on Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Listen to this article Estimated 2 minutes The audio version of this article is generated by AI-based technology.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":735360,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[442],"tags":[49,48,82,593],"class_list":["post-735359","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/735359","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=735359"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/735359\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/735360"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=735359"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=735359"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=735359"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
