"VAN" (Sports Desk - 20.03.2025) :: The elder of the two Muzychuk sisters took a huge step towards the title by scoring her third win in a row and now leads the Cyprus Women’s Grand Prix leg with only four rounds to go. Trailing by only half a point is China’s Zhu Jiner, who held Alexandra Goryachkina – now in third place – to a draw. With her result in this event, Zhu Jiner has already overtaken Kateryna Lagno and Nana Dzagnidze in the live ratings and is now number eight in the world. The other happy contender of the day was Germany’s Elizabeth Paehtz, who secured her first win in the event. The players will enjoy a well-deserved rest day tomorrow. For those willing to catch a breath of fresh air and get their minds off the tournament for a while, the organisers have planned a special excursion to Lefkara Village, one of Cyprus’s most picturesque and historic locations: a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy the scenic beauty and Cypriot hospitality.
