–
A couple of days after the Kichenok sisters squared off against each other in Birmingham, the Chan sisters did the game.
Hao-Ching played with Shuko Aoyama; Latisha played with Aussie vet Samantha Stosur – and won.
And in a match that she did everything but win, Bianca Andreescu ultimately fell fo No. 4 seed Karolina Pliskova.
Andreescu served for the match at 5-4 in the third set, but lost in the deciding tiebreak.
