Mihalikova and Nicholls Defeat Fernandez and Siegemund at HSBC Championships

The Canadian-German duo moves into the final after Iva Jovic withdrew following her singles semifinal loss.

  • On Sunday, Slovakia's Tereza Mihalikova and Britain's Olivia Nicholls defeated Canadian Leylah Fernandez and German partner Laura Siegemund 6-3, 6-7 , 10-5 in the women's doubles final at the HSBC Championships.
  • Fernandez and Siegemund reached Saturday's final via a walkover after scheduled opponents Americans Iva Jovic and McCartney Kessler withdrew following Jovic's 6-2, 6-2 loss to Britain's Emma Raducanu in the singles semifinals.
  • Canadian star Victoria Mboko withdrew from the WTA 500 event on Friday due to a knee injury, halting a high-profile doubles partnership with 44-year-old tennis legend Serena Williams, who had returned to competitive tennis after nearly four years.
  • Chasing her first WTA doubles crown, Fernandez—ranked 23rd in singles—combined with Siegemund for five aces but were broken three times in six opportunities during the final.
  • Mboko confirmed Friday she will miss the rest of the grass-court season, including Wimbledon, to recover from the knee injury sustained during the tournament.
