Hsieh Su-wei and Elise Mertens defeated Lyudmyla Kichenok and Jeļena Ostapenko in the final, 6–1, 7–5 to win the women's doubles tennis title at the 2024 Australian Open.[1] It was their second major title as a team, Hsieh's eighth major title, and Mertens' fourth. With the win, Hsieh claimed both the women's doubles and the mixed doubles titles at the event. Hsieh was the first woman to win both titles at the Australian Open since Rennae Stubbs in 2000, and the first to do so at any major since Martina Hingis at the 2017 US Open. Ostapenko became the first Latvian finalist at the event.
Barbora Krejčíková and Kateřina Siniaková were the two-time defending champions,[2] but chose not to participate together. Krejčíková partnered with Laura Siegemund, but lost to Storm Hunter and Siniaková in the quarterfinals.[3] Hunter and Siniaková lost to Hsieh and Mertens in the semifinals.
Mertens regained the WTA No. 1 doubles ranking by reaching the final. Hunter, Siegemund, Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula, Gabriela Dabrowski, Taylor Townsend, Nicole Melichar-Martinez and Desirae Krawczyk were also in contention at the start of the tournament.[4]
