Alicja Rosolska is back in competition after her maternity break. This year she starred in Roland Garros (with Coco Vandeweghe) and Nottingham. She was eliminated from both tournaments in the first round. He will also leave Birmingham without a win. Polish and Latvian Jelena Ostapenko surrendered 2:6, 3:6 to Marie Bozkova (who was Rusulska’s partner in Nottingham) and Lucy Hradec.

In the first set, Rusulska and Ostapenko scored the only two matches when they tied 1-1 and broke through with a score of 2-5. In the second match, the Pole and the Latvian used their break point at 2:1. Since then, they have lost five of their six games in a row.

In the 67-minute match, Rosolska and Ostapenko made nine double faults. They only scored six out of 20 on the second pass. Buzkov and Hradika saved five out of seven breaks and traded five out of nine for a break.

This was Rozelska’s seventh doubles match in Birmingham with a 0-7 budget. Together, Bulka and Ostapenko won the championship in St. Petersburg in 2017.
