Hsieh won the title with Barbora Strýcová when the tournament was last held in 2019,[2] but Strýcová retired from professional tennis in May 2021.[3]

By reaching the final, Mertens reclaimed the world No. 1 doubles ranking.[1] Kristina Mladenovic was also in contention for the ranking, but lost in the first round.

Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Samantha Stosur were each bidding to complete the career Grand Slam in doubles, but they lost in the second round and first round, respectively.
