After the warm-up match in Adelaide, the third-seeded pair showed a feminine and masculine high-contrast play in the women's doubles at the Australian Open, reaching the final in five consecutive levels, until the final was a three-set battle before losing to the top seeds of the United States, Townsend of the United States/Czechosinia Siniakova. So far, Xie Shuwei has fallen short and fallen into second place, and her ranking has only slipped slightly.
As for Ostapenko, the 2017 French Open women's singles champion and the 2024 US Open women's doubles champion, she returned to fifth place in women's doubles this week, just one spot shy of her career's best fourth place last October. As she co-produced two stops with "Wild Queen" Xie Shuwei, the on-the-spot performance gradually improved, and the next pair has been favored by all walks of life to achieve better results and continue to show strong competitiveness.
