Veronika Kudermetova and Elise Mertens were the reigning champions,[2] but Kudermetova did not qualify this year. Mertens partnered Storm Hunter, but lost in the semifinals to Siegemund and Zvonareva.
Hunter attained the year-end WTA No. 1 doubles ranking after Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula were eliminated in the round robin competition.[3] Gabriela Dabrowski, Kateřina Siniaková, Siegemund, and Shuko Aoyama were also in contention for the top ranking at the beginning of the tournament.[4]
Hunter, Perez, Erin Routliffe and Siegemund all made their debuts in the doubles competition at the WTA Finals.
