The first set of athletes from Belarus and Russia completely failed. However, this development did not force them to give up - and they were able to change the course of the game. Note that in the course of the second game Sasnovich and Prozorov conceded with a score of 0: 2 and after that won six of the eight games. A big tie-break to ten points, on which the outcome of the match was decided, developed relatively calmly.

With whom the Belarusian and Russian will contest the title, will become known later.

In the singles category of the tournament, Alexander Sasnovich (WTA: 121) after defeating Chinese Xinxin Yao (WTA: 271) (7:5, 6:1) and Linda Frukhvirtova of the Czech Republic (WTA: 181) (6:0, 6:2) lost in the quarterfinals to American Elvina Kalieva (WTA: 117) (3:6, 6:7). Rackets and two other Belarusians were also covered. Alena Faley (WTA: 220) knocked out Chinese Hanya Guo (WTA: 240) (7:6, 4:6, 7:5) and Ukrainian Oleksandra Oleynikova (WTA: 47) (7:6, 4:0, refusal), but in the match for reaching the semifinals she saved before Rebecca Shramkova from Slovakia (WTA: 152) (1:6, 6:2, 2:6). And Daria Khomutyanskaya (WTA: 291) qualified and in the match of the 1/16 finals took over the Italian Taira Grant (WTA: 156) (6:2, 5:7, 7:5), but in the match of the 1/8 finals she was defeated by Ukrainian Katarina Zavatskaya (WTA: 266) (4:6, 4:6).
