Xie Shuwei, who won two women's doubles and mixed doubles titles last year and wrote a 24-year record in the history of the Australian Open, although the second round of mixed doubles was stopped this year, the women's doubles partner was also changed from Belgium Mertens to Ostapenko. Known as the "Wild Queen" from all walks of life, Xie Shuwei has reached the Australian Open women's doubles semifinals for the fourth time in the past eight years, and is also the 14th Grand Slam women's doubles semi-finals in her career.

Dabroski/Lo Liv have been working together since 2023, winning the US Open Women's Doubles title, reaching the final of the Wimbledon Championship last year and sealing the year-end finals in Riyadh, and now the multinational duo have reached the last four of the Australian Open for the second time in a row. Ostapenko, who has an explosive bottom-line play, expects Xie Shuwei, who is a first-class volley in front of the net, to be more focused on the field and win steadily.
