Dubai and Doha are both WTA 1,000-level tournaments this year, with a total prize fund of 3.211715 US dollars (about 23.12 million yuan), Xie Shuwei, who only won the women's doubles and mixed doubles Grand Slam championships at the Australian Open in January this year, joined hands with Meltens again after the women's doubles ball in the second leg of the Middle East trip, and the pair with the seed card had a bye in the first round, and met Sano Vicki Sigmund in the second round. Despite the fact that the veteran European opponents came out on top in the first round, beating Japan's Makoto Ninomiya and Eri Hozumi in 6 rounds, it is still widely expected that the stronger Hsieh Shuwei pair will win smoothly.
Coincidentally, if Xie Shuwei advances to the top 8, the opponent will be the 7th seed Zhan Haoqing, Mexico's Giuliana Olmos (Giuliana Olmos) vs. Wu Fangxian, Norway's ulrikke Eikeri, and it is expected to continue to stage the "Chinese Taipei Civil War".
