MADRID — Canada’s Leylah Fernandez and Czech partner Kateřina Siniaková have been eliminated in the second round of women’s doubles competition at the Madrid Open following a 6-1, 6-4 loss to Slovakia’s Tereza Mihalíková and Norway’s Ulrikke Eikeri.

Mihalíková and Eikeri made the most of their service game, winning 65 per cent of total service points compared to 54.3 per cent for Fernandez and Siniaková.

Fernandez, from Laval, Que., and Siniaková were broken four times on 10 chances. They had six opportunities to break their opponents, but converted just once.

Fernandez and Siniaková had advanced to the second round with a 6-7 (4), 7-6 (4), 10-7 win over sixth-seeds Beartiz Haddad Maia of Brazil and Anna Danilina of Kazakhstan on Saturday.

The doubles defeat comes a day after Fernandez was ousted in singles competition with a 6-4, 6-4 loss to Swizterland’s Jil Teichmann in the second round.
