The Australian Open women’s doubles final was a close affair between defending champions Barbora Krejcikova and Katerina Siniakova and new pairing of Carla Suárez Navarro and Yaroslava Shvedova. It took until the last game, when Suárez Navarro and Shvedova secured the title with a victory over Krejcikova and Siniakova.
The final was much closer than many people expected it to be, with all four players winning two sets. In fact, the only break of serve in the entire match came in the very first game, which also happened to be the deciding set. Krejcikova and Siniakova started well, forcing a break point but couldn’t take it. They then managed to hold their own service games before hitting back at Suárez Navarro and Shvedova in turn. However, they couldn’t keep up with their opponents who went on to take the set in just 26 minutes.
The second set followed a similar pattern with both teams trading breaks throughout. However, this time it was Suárez Navarro and Shvedova who came out on top thanks to some strong play from their opponents. Krejcikova and Siniakova had trouble dealing with their powerful groundstrokes while Suárez Navarro and Shvedova looked more composed at the net. They even managed to take advantage
