As the 2024 WTA doubles pair of the year, Ellani/Paulini have reached the top in the Qatar capital since they reached the top in Rome and Beijing last year, and have already won the third WTA 1,000-point tournament in their careers. Paulini, who has both singles and doubles, said bluntly after the match that the doubles tiebreaker, tie-break 7 and tie-10 are a bit tricky, "We were a little lucky yesterday and maybe a little lucky today." ”
Wu Fangxian, who missed the third women's doubles title this season, is about to rise to a new high of 31 in the world women's doubles rankings, although she missed the first gold cup of the 1,000-point tournament in her career. Although we missed many opportunities, we need to improve our mastery of key moments, and it is a recognition for us to be able to fight for the Olympic gold medal to the end. Wu Fangxian/Jiang Xinyu have already won the next wild card of the Dubai 1000 Points Tournament at the same level, and the first match is against the Chinese pair Yang Zhaoxuan/Xu Yifan.
