Ottawa’s Gabriela Dabrowski and Brazil’s Luisa Stefani have advanced to their third Grand Slam women’s doubles semifinal of the year after a 6-1, 6-2 win over Poland’s Katarzina Piter and Anna Siskova of Czechia on Wednesday at Wimbledon.<\/p>\n
Dabrowski and Stefani, the second seeds at the grass-court major, have yet to drop a set at the tournament and have held their opponents to two or fewer games won in six of the eight sets they have played.<\/p>\n
The duo combined for an effective service game on Wednesday, winning 78 per cent of total service points and not facing break point.<\/p>\n
They broke Piter and Siskova four times on nine chances in a match that was wrapped up in just under an hour.<\/p>\n
Dabrowski and Stefani will next face Japan’s Shuko Aoyama and Taiwan’s En-shuo Liang at the All England Club.<\/p>\n
The duo, which has three tournament wins this season, is looking for its first Grand Slam final appearance this season after losing to top-ranked Katerina Siniakova and Taylor Townsend in the French Open semifinals and falling to Anna Danilina and Aleksandra Krunic in the final four at the Australian Open.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ottawa’s Gabriela Dabrowski and Brazil’s Luisa Stefani have advanced to their third Grand Slam women’s doubles semifinal of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":788784,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194295],"tags":[49,48,20739],"class_list":["post-788783","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ottawa","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-ottawa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/788783","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=788783"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/788783\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/788784"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=788783"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=788783"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=788783"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
