Overview

  • The unseeded Chinese-French pair defeated second seeds Gabriela Dabrowski and Luisa Stefani 6-3, 7-5 to win the Wimbledon women's doubles title on Sunday, July 12, 2026.
  • Kristina Mladenovic secured her first Wimbledon doubles title and her seventh Grand Slam women's doubles trophy after returning from a long-term injury that sidelined her for much of last year.
  • Guo Hanyu captured her maiden major in her first Grand Slam final and is projected to move into the WTA doubles top 10 as a result of the win.
  • Gabriela Dabrowski and Luisa Stefani finished runners-up, with Dabrowski now a three-time Wimbledon runner-up and publicly praised by the Princess of Wales for returning to the final after breast cancer treatment.
  • The result underscores how new doubles partnerships can yield rapid major success, boosts the winners' chances for the season-ending WTA Finals, and marked an emotional comeback for Mladenovic who thanked her brother and coach at the trophy ceremony.
