Dabrowski/Stefani defeat defending champions to win Wuhan doubles title

Top seeds Gabriela Dabrowski and Luisa Stefani won the Dongfeng • Voyah Wuhan Open doubles title with a straight-sets victory over third seeds and defending champions Storm Hunter and Katerina Siniakova.

In Sunday's final, Dabrowski and Stefani broke early in the first set to build a 4-1 lead before Hunter and Siniakova fought back to level the score. The top seeds broke again in the 12th game to take the set 7-5. They broke twice again in the second set while surrendering their serve once to complete a 7-5, 6-4 victory in 1 hour, 32 minutes.

The title was the pair's sixth of the season, following their triumphs in Dubai, Strasbourg, Eastbourne, Sao Paulo and Beijing last week. It was their eighth title overall as a team. The duo improved its career tour-level win-loss record to 79-19.

For Dabrowski, it was her 26th career doubles title on the WTA Tour Driven by Mercedes-Benz and eighth at the WTA 1000 level. Stefani claimed her 19th career tour-level doubles title and sixth at the WTA 1000 level.

After a season-long race, the world's top players converge in the California desert with the WTA's biggest title still to be won.

For Siniakova and Hunter, this was their ninth tour-level event as a team. They have won two titles together - at the WTA 1000 event in Dubai in 2024 and in Wuhan in 2025 - and now have a 30-6 career win-loss record as a pair.
