Kristina Mladenovic and Karolina Pliskova played two more thrilling sets on the International Premier Tennis League’s first night in Singapore, and while each won a battle, Mladenovic and her OBI UAE Royals won the war, defeating Pliskova’s OUE Singapore Slammers, 27-23.

The Frenchwoman had narrowly to her good friend and rival in their last IPTL encounter, but turned the tables on the Czech on Friday, winning their women’s singles set 6-5. Though Pliskova, partnering Dustin Brown, won a fourth straight set of mixed doubles – defating Mladenovic and Daniel Nestor, 6-3 – the Royals ultimately won by a mere four games, sliding just behind the Slammers for third place in the overall standings.

Earlier in the night, the Legendari Japan Warriors won their second match of the season, defeating the Philippine Mavericks, 29-15. Kurumi Nara stepped in to defeat Jarmila Gajdosova in women’s singles, 6-1, while Mirjana Lucic-Baroni paired Leander Paes to defeat Gajdosova and Edouard Roger-Vasslin, 6-2.
