Polina Kudermetova is having a strong week in Chennai, picking up another win on Wednesday. Earlier she got past Morvayova in a hard-fought three-setter, and reports also highlight her first WTA quarterfinal in 22 months, a welcome sign of her form returning.
She was among the Chennai winners on Wednesday, alongside Janice Tjen, Robin Montgomery and Maaya Rajeshwaran Revathi.
Her first-round match against Morvayova needed three sets before she came through.
