Hopes that home favourites Julie MacPherson and Ciara Torrance could reach the final of the Scottish Open have been dashed after they lost in Saturday's semi-finals.
The duo, seeded second in the women's doubles, lost a high-quality encounter with Japan's Maiko Kawazoe and Haruna Konishi 21-16, 13-21, 8-21 at the Emirates Arena in Glasgow.
They will play top seeded Bulgarians Gabriela and Stefani Stoeva in Sunday's final, live on the BBC Sport website and app and the BBC iPlayer.
"We are both knackered," MacPherson said. "We put so much effort into winning the first game and they just got tougher and tougher. We gave it absolutely everything but their defence was incredible."
Also on Sunday, there will be finals in the men's and women's singles, plus the men's and mixed doubles.
