MELBOURNE – Canada’s Gabriela Dabrowski and Brazil’s Luisa Stefani fell 7-6 (2), 3-6, 6-4 to Kazakhstan’s Anna Danilina and Serbia’s Aleksandra Krunic in the women’s doubles semifinals at the Australian Open on Thursday local time.

Dabrowski and Stefani, the fifth seeds, were ahead 3-1 in the final set before dropping the following four games.
