In the doubles semifinals, Elie and Alicia Smith (Qld) were no match against Marshall and Valentina Ivanov (NZL), losing 2-6, 1-6, while earlier Patricia Boentgen (GER) and Lisa Mays (NSW) found an even easier passage to today’s final after Georgiana Ruhrig (Vic) and Jelena Stojanovic (WA) retired after trailing 2-5 in the first set.
