The Uberoi sisters -- Shikha and Neha � entered their maiden doubles final on the WTA Tour while Russian tennis star Anastasia Myskina [Images] put herself in line for a double in the US $1,70,000 Sunfeast Open in Kolkata on Saturday.

The Uberois scalped Ukraine's Yuliana Fedak and Melinda Czink of Hungary in an exciting three-setter, winning 7-6 (7-5), 1-6, 6-3 to set up a final with the Russian duo of Myskina and Elena Likhovtseva, who upset the fancied Indo-Spanish pair of Sania Mirza [Images] and Virginia Ruano Pascual, winning their semi-final 4-6, 6-3, 7-5 at Netaji Indoor stadium late Saturday night.

Top seed Myskina also entered the title round in the singles, beating Estonia's Kaia Kanepi 6-3, 6-1 in the semi-finals.

The former French open champion will lock horns with seventh seed Carolina Sprem, who upset an injured second seed Likhovtseva 4-6, 6-4, 6-1 in the first semi-final.
