Scottish doubles star Maia Lumsden extended her excellent run of form by capturing her second WTA crown in as many weeks at the Memphis Open.
The WTA 250 final marked Lumsden’s third consecutive Tour-level final, following her runner-up finish at the Hellenic Championships and title-winning run at the Prague Open with fellow Brit Harriet Dart.
Teaming up with Maria Kozyreva, the pair secured their first title together with a 7-6(5), 6-3 win over second seeds Chan Hao-ching and Maya Joint.
The victory continues Lumsden's impressive run of form and will see her break inside the world's top 50 for the first time in her career - rising to a new high of world No.49.
