The first set of Friday’s match was decided only by a tiebreak, which Hsieh and Zielinski played brilliantly. They won 0-0, despite having defended the set piece a moment earlier, at 6:6.
In the second set, the game number eight proved to be decisive for the fate of the match. The Taiwanese and Poles dominated, finally taking advantage of the third break point and jumping to 5:3. In an instant they served and scored the first match ball.
The meeting lasted 1 hour and 37 minutes.
In Sunday’s final, Hsieh and Zielinskiy’s opponents will be Mexico’s Juliana Olmos and Santiago Gonzalez, who eliminated Norway’s Ulrike Eckere and Argentina’s Maximo Gonzalez.
