Taiwanese tennis player Liang En-shuo, nicknamed "Little Cannon," and her Japanese partner Shuko Aoyama are heading to the finals of the Libéma Open in the Netherlands. The duo, who recently achieved their best Grand Slam result by reaching the semifinals of the French Open, have continued their strong performance on grass courts.

They secured a spot in the championship match after their opponents, Anastasia Detiuc of the Czech Republic and Irina Khromacheva of Russia, retired due to injury while Liang and Aoyama led 6-4, 4-1. This marks the second time the Taiwanese-Japanese pair has reached a doubles final in their four tournaments together.

The 25-year-old Liang En-shuo, who stands less than 1.60 meters tall, will face Giuliana Olmos of Mexico and Ingrid Neel of Estonia in the final. She also aims to avenge a loss by her compatriot Wu Fang-hsien, who was eliminated earlier in the tournament, and secure her first WTA tour title.
