DOHA \u2013 Alongside the quarter-finals and the matches for the title, the women\u2019s draw at the Khalifa International Tennis & Squash Complex in Doha also features matches to determine the final standings from 9th to 16th place at the FIP World Cup. The quarter-final day delivered some impressive performances. Belgium produced a dominant display against Paraguay (3-0), with victories for Pysson\/Boeykens, Wyckaert\/Mestach and Sermant\/Vierendeels. The winning pairs conceded just five games across all three matches. In the semi-finals, the Belgian players will face Indonesia, who defeated Germany 2-0. Kusuma\/Putria secured victory in the opening match, before Gumulya\/Sabrina sealed the tie. The third match was not played, in accordance with the regulations allowing teams to agree not to play a match if its result would have no bearing on qualification.<\/p>\n
