On Tuesday, Katarzina Kawa faced Magda Lynette in the first round of the single, but the woman from Poznan enjoyed the win. Kryniczanka was left with a doubles competition. Her partner in Nottingham is Aldila Sutjiadi, with whom the Polish woman triumphed in April of this year with a meal in Charleston (ITF World Tennis Tour with prize totaling $100,000).
Alicia Barnett and Olivia Nichols stood in the way on Wednesday. The British have been playing doubles together for several years. This season they achieved some noteworthy results, as they were, among other things, the WTA 250 Final in Lyon or the semi-finals of this ranking event in Istanbul. This means that they have improved their position in the rankings and can participate in the next tournaments of the main tournament.

In the second half Kawa and Setjiadi broke 4:2, but the opponents hit back on the spot. From state to fourth, Poles and Indonesian women had an advantage in court. In the tenth match, the British repelled two set symbols, but after changing sides they could not cope. This part of the meeting was taken by the tennis player and her partner. So the main thing was to break the tie, with Barnett and Nichols only scoring four points.
Kawa and Sutjiadi finally won in a ratio of 3:6, 7:5, 10-4 and advanced to the quarter-finals of the WTA 250 tournament in Nottingham. Their opponents would be Shuko Aoyama and Hao-Ching Chan. Ranked at number three, the Japanese and Taiwanese eliminated Alicia Rusulska and Irene Rotliff in the first stage.
