The Russian Valentyna Ivakhnenko and Marina Melnikova did it again: winning the super tiebreak after losing the second set with 1-6. By doing so they defeated The French Armandine Hesse and Stephanie Foretz (6-2; 1-6; 10-7). They did exactly the same earlier against the defending champion Demi Schuurs from the Netherlands and her teammate Oksana Kalashnikova for Georgia. It’s remarkable how positive and calm, and even cheerful, these girls behave when their game is not going as they want to. No screaming and and shouting, let alone rackets throwing, but supporting each other in a positive way. And it works out! Their victory brings them into the finals!
