Gauff/ Pegula named top seeds for Women’s doubles
For the doubles events, the ITF has used a combination of best singles/ doubles rankings of the players to come up with the seedings.
Based on that criteria, Americans Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula have been named as top seeds for the women’s doubles event, followed by Czech duo Barbora Krejcikova and Katerina Siniakova.
Italians Jannik Sinner and Lorenzo Musetti were named as the top seeds in the men’s doubles event but with Sinner withdrawing that would undergo a change.
