Estonia's women tennis players beat Kosovo
The Estonian women's tennis won a consolation victory in their Billie Jean King Cup Europe-Africa Zone Group II in Vilnius Friday, beating Kosovo 3-0.
The team still finished in last place in their group after losing 2:1 to North Macedonia and 3:0 against Croatia.
The group winner obtains promotion to the Europe-Africa Zone Group I.
In the first singles game Elena Malõgina (WTA 370) outgunned Forta Morina (unranked), winning 6:0, 6:0, while in match two, veteran player Kaia Kanepi (pictured) overcame Arlinda Rushiti (WTA 859) with scores in three sets, 6:2, 3:6, 6:3.
While this was enough for overall victory, Ingrid Neel and Laura Rahnel provided the icing on the cake with a 6:1, 6:0 doubles victory over Aja Broqi and Adrijana Lekaj in a match which lasted just 43 minutes.
The Estonian team is next in action today, Saturday, in the 7th to 9th playoff phase, against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
