Chinese Taipei's first sister Hsieh Shuwei / Latvian star Ostapenko

Hsieh won the Australian Open women's doubles title for the first time last year with Belgium's Mertens, and then the quarterfinals of the Wimbledon Championships and the finale of the WTA year-end group stage in Riyadh were twice reversed by Townsend/Siniakova. Now Xie Shuwei's comrades-in-arms have been replaced by Ostapenko, the 2017 French Open women's singles champion and the 2024 US Open women's doubles champion, and once again reached the Australian Open women's doubles final. Although the strong contrast of femininity and masculinity failed to defeat the strong rival "Metrojet Combination" on Laver Centre Court, Xie Shuwei joined hands with the fifth different partner in her career to reach the Grand Slam women's doubles final 9 times, and still polished the "wild diva" signboard again.

Siniakova has won four major tournaments and Olympic gold medals, and has completed the "career golden slam"; Left-handed heavy artillery Townsend is the first sister of the American women's doubles, facing the menacing "Meijie combination", Xie Shuwei/Ostapenko started the game a little slowly, and the high mistakes led to a dangerous service game, and the third and fifth games were broken by Townsend/Siniakova one after another, and lost the first set in five consecutive games.

The battle line pulled into the grab 7, and Xie Shuwei's combination opened the gap from 3:3, trying to maintain the lead without losing it, and took advantage of the situation to pull back a city.

In the deciding set, Xie Shuwei and Ostapenko shared a $440,000 runner-up prize.
