Malõgina eliminated in doubles as well

Estonian tennis player Elena Malõgina and her Swiss partner Susan Bandecchi were eliminated in the quarterfinals of the W75 tournament in Altenkirchen.

Elena Malõgina, the top Estonian female tennis player, and her Swiss partner, Susan Bandecchi, faced elimination in the quarterfinals of the W75 tournament held in Altenkirchen. In the earlier rounds, they achieved a solid victory against the Czech-Italian duo of Julie Struplova and Martina Colmegna, winning their first match 6-4, 6-2. However, their progress was halted when they faced the German pairing of Tessa Johanna Brockmann and Nastasja Schunki, suffering a defeat with a score of 6-3, 6-3.

During the match against Brockmann and Schunki, Malõgina and Bandecchi managed to take an early lead in the second set, going up 3-2 after breaking their opponents' serve, but ultimately lost momentum and dropped four consecutive games. This performance highlights the intense competition at the Altenkirchen tournament, particularly within the doubles category, where unexpected turnarounds can quickly change the outcome.

In singles competition, Malõgina's journey ended in the first round as she was defeated by Alina Granwehr after a closely contested match that lasted two hours and ten minutes, with a final score of 4-6, 6-2, 3-6. Despite showing resilience in her play, the match concluded her participation in both singles and doubles, marking a disappointing result for the Estonian tennis star.
