NEW YORK (TVBS News) — Taiwanese tennis player Chan Hao-Ching (詹皓晴) and her Russian partner Veronika Kudermetova fell short in the US Open women's doubles semifinals on Thursday (Sept. 5).

Facing the Ukrainian-Latvian duo of Lyudmyla Kichenok and Jelena Ostapenko, this year's Australian Open runners-up, Chan and Kudermetova lost in straight sets.

Chan and Kudermetova conceded the first set 1-6 and struggled again in the second set, ultimately losing 2-6.

Despite the defeat, Chan achieved her best-ever performance at the US Open, while Kudermetova reached the semifinals for the first time since 2020.
