Xie Shuwei and Ostapenko teamed up to win two women's doubles runners-up at the Australian Open and Dubai at the beginning of this year, and they teamed up again in the Spanish capital after nearly two months. It's just that in the top 4 facing Sestia/Karinskaya, the upset of Sestia/Karinskaya, Xie Shuwei/Ostapenko combination was not as expected, and the opening match went through 3 fierce battles with each other, and after the battle line was pulled into the 7-tie, the "Taiwan-Australia Alliance" dropped 4 points in a row to form a 1:5 behind, and the first set was handed over.

In the second set, the two sides continued to stage a night-break battle on the center court, and the Xie Shuwei/Ostapenko combination failed to seize the opportunity to lead 4:3, but were suppressed by the opponent who played with confidence in succession, and finally lost three games in a row.
