In the doubles, Russia’s Sergei Lunev and Evgenia Dimova came back from a set down to snatch a 19-21, 21-16, 21-17 victory against the brother and sister team from Raphoe.
Earlier today Chloe was beaten in the singles by another Russian, Natalia Perminova, who won in straight sets 25-23, 21-6.
The Russian world No. 121 will face the winner of Bulgaria’s Linda Zerichi and Poland’s Kamila Augustyn for a place in the quarterfinal.
The defeat was a real upset – with Chloe ranked 42nd in the world and set to represent Ireland at the Olympics in London this summer.
