• 2 MINUTE READ
Fourth seeds Demi Schuurs and Asia Muhammad have been crowned women’s doubles champions at the HSBC Championships following a standout week at the WTA 500 event.
The Dutch, American duo rounded off an incredible doubles campaign with a 7-5, 6-7(3), 10-4 win over second seeds Anna Danilina and Diana Shnaider.
Their victory in West London marks the pair’s second WTA title as a duo, after they won Indian Wells back in March.
It’s been a week to remember for Schuurs and Muhammad, who relished the opportunity to compete in the first WTA event at The Queen’s Club in 52 years.
“What a week,” Schuurs said in her on-court interview. “At the same week now, we have a home tournament for me in the Netherlands. It was a tough choice, but it was worth it to come here - it was an unbelievable week.
“I want to thank all the people who made this tournament possible and also, I'm very happy that it's for women this time as well.”
Muhammad added, “Today was really fun, it was a great match. Thanks to the crowd - it was such a fun atmosphere, these courts are amazing.
“Thank you to everyone putting into the tournament, Laura (Robson), the physios… the ball kids and thanks to Demi."
- First round: Bt. Yang Zhaoxuan (CHN) & Xu Yifan (CHN) 6-2, 6-3
- Quarter-final: Bt Yulia Putintseva (KAZ) & Elena Rybakina (KAZ) 6-1, 7-5
- Semi-final: Bt Erin Routliffe (NZL) & Lyudmyla Kichenok (UKR) (1 seeded) 6-1, 6-2
- Final: Bt. Anna Danilina (KAZ) & Diana Shnaider 7-5, 6-7(3), 10-4
It was a nervy start to the final for both pairs as the match got underway with an exchange of early breaks. Once they'd settled into the match, there was little separating the two until Schuurs and Muhammad made their move by reeling off the last three games to take the opener in 42 minutes.
Danilina and Shnaider produced the perfect response to dropping the first set, sprinting a head to go 5-1 up.
The reigning Indian Wells champions showed their fight to not only level up but bring up two match points. However, they weren't able to find a way to see out match there and in the end, the resulting tie-break fell the way of the Kazakhstan, Russian duo.
Into the match deciding tie-break and both teams left it all out on the court as they fought to be crowned the first women's doubles winners at Queen's since 1973.
At 5-4, Schuurs and Muhammad turned up the intensity - going on to win the next five consecutive points before closing out the win on their third match point to add their names to the history books.
