Taipei, Feb. 22 (CNA) Hsieh Su-wei is one win away from her first title of 2025 after she and Jeļena Ostapenko secured a spot in the women's doubles final at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships on Friday.
The third-seeded Taiwan-Latvia duo defeated China's Xu Yifan (徐一璠) and Yang Zhaoxuan (楊釗煊) 6-4, 4-6, 10-2 in 95 minutes.
