Estelle Cascino and Shuo Feng are the champions of the doubles tournament at the 36th Palermo Ladies Open. The Frenchwoman (originally from Catania) and the Chinese pair, the third-seeded pair, defeated Japan's Momoko Kobori and Ayano Shimizu, the top seeds in the draw, 3-1, 6-2, 6-7 in the final after one hour and 10 minutes of play. It was a spectacular final, played point-for-point and resolved in a super tiebreak by Cascino and Feng, who were playing their first tournament together in Palermo. This is both their first WTA 7 career titles in the specialty.
