Aleksandra Advances to Knockout Stage, Olga Exits Due to Forfeit
Aleksandra Krunićeva, alongside her partner Ana Danilina, has made a significant stride in the Australian Open 2023. They emerged victorious in their recent match against Australians Arina Rodionova and Darja Kastakinka. The Serbian-Kazakh duo secured the win in straight sets, finishing the match with scores of 6-3, 6-4 after an hour and a half of play.
Aleksandra Advances to Knockout Stage
As the seventh seeds in the tournament, Krunićeva and Danilina now move on to the quarterfinals. They will face the winners of the match between Mihalikova/Nikols and Hunter/Joint. A victory in this upcoming round would mark a significant moment for Krunićeva, as it would equal her best result in doubles at the Australian Open, which is reaching the quarterfinals in 2021.
Olga Exits Due to Forfeit
In contrast to Krunićeva’s success, Olga Danilović faced an early exit from the tournament. After being eliminated in singles, Danilović and her partner, Anastasia Potapova, had to forfeit their match during the Round of 16. The withdrawal is believed to be due to Potapova’s exhausting singles match against Aryna Sabalenka, which ended in tight scores of 6-7, 6-7.
