The co-op WTA 1000-point clay tournament is taking place in the Spanish capital. At the beginning of this year, the Australian Open and Dubai women's doubles runner-up Xie Shuwei/Ostapenko duo formed again after nearly two months, and after regaining their tacit understanding in Madrid to usher in a good start, they faced the difficult Kichenok/Xu Yifan the next day, and the experienced duo continued to work hard, breaking twice in the opening match and winning the first set.

In the second set, Kichenok/Xu Yifan launched a counterattack and once took a 3:0 lead, but Xie Shuwei/Ostapenko immediately adjusted and stabilized, and in the 9th game, the two sides broke each other at the end of the set and entered the tie-break. In the decisive period, Xie Shuwei/Ostapenko overcame the disadvantage of falling behind 1:3, and came from behind 4:5, winning key three points in succession, and finally won the victory in straight sets in 1 hour and 25 minutes.
