Oman tennis: Fatma Al Nabhani wins doubles second place in France

Muscat: Omani star Fatma Al Nabhani and her Romanian partner Daiana Negreanu settled for a runners-up spot in the $15,000 Le Havre ITF Women’s Circuit tournament in France on Friday.
The Omani-Romanian duo did well to reach the summit clash but came up a strong pairing of Eleyne Boeykens and Kimberley Zimmermann in the final.
Though fourth seeds Fatma and Daiana fought well they could not stop the third-seeded Belgians from winning the match 7-6 (5), 6-3 and with the title.
Fatma had earlier exited the singles competition on Wednesday when the second seed lost her first round match to Russian qualifier Varvara Gracheva 6-4, 2-6, 6-1.
