Taipei, March 29 (CNA) Taiwan’s Wu Fang-hsien (吳芳嫺) and her Chinese partner Jiang Xinyu (蔣欣玗) were eliminated from the 2025 Miami Open after a straight-sets loss in the women’s doubles semifinals on Friday.
Wu and Jiang, who have partnered in seven tournaments so far this year, missed the chance to reach their second WTA 1000-level final of 2025, falling to Russia’s Mirra Andreeva and Diana Shnaider — the 2024 Paris Olympic silver medalists — 6-0, 7-5.
After dropping the first set in just 20 minutes, the Taiwanese-Chinese duo regrouped to break serve in the opening game of the second game.
But the Russians returned the favor to tie the set at 3-3, and each side broke the other one more time to keep the set even at 5-5.
With the match in the balance, Andreeva and Shnaider held serve to take a 6-5 lead and then converted their first match point on their opponents’ serve to complete the victory.
Wu, 25, teamed up with Jiang at the Doha Open in February and reached the finals before losing, her best result at a WTA 1000 event.
