How the match unfolded
Dabrowski and Stefani took the first set 6-3 before a tighter second set went to a tiebreak, which they won 7-5. The pair will face the winner of the match between Asia Muhammad and Fanny Stollar or Ingrid Neel and Giuliana Olmos.
Title chase continues
The partnership has claimed two titles already this season: the WTA 1000 Dubai and the WTA 500 Strasbourg.
