Top seeds Katerina Siniakova and Taylor Townsend captured their second title of the season after defeating No. 3 seeds Hsieh Su-Wei and Jelena Ostapenko to win the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships. The duel was a rematch of the Australian Open final, which Siniakova and Townsend won 6-2, 6-7(4), 6-3 to win their second Grand Slam title as a team. Saturday's final proved slightly easier, as Siniakova and Townsend prevailed 7-6(5), 6-4. Dubai is the third team title for Siniakova and Townsend and their first as a team at a WTA 1000. Their two prior titles both came at the Slams, breaking through at 2024 Wimbledon and Melbourne in January. World No. 1 Siniakova completed a successful title defense in Dubai, where she was a champion with Storm Hunter last year. The win is Siniakova's 30th career doubles title. Dubai is No. 3 Townsend's ninth career doubles title.
