The 2022 WTA Miami Crown began the first round of the women's doubles competition, and the poorly signed No. 3 seed Zhang Shuai continued to play with Stosur in the women's doubles, only to encounter another cross-border combination of Yang Zhaoxuan and Russian fierce woman Alexandrova, and the result was that the Chinese Jinhua Derby, which was opposed by the net, ended with Yang Zhaoxuan/Alexandrova winning 2-0 (6-4/6-4), so Yang Zhaoxuan continued to work towards winning the 2 consecutive crown championship titles with the momentum of 6 consecutive crown matches.
Zhang Shuai / Stosur is the women's doubles champion of the 2021 US Open, last year's year-end finals were also invited to participate, but in 2022, the cooperation between the two suddenly stuck, consecutive defeats, the first Grand Slam tournament at the beginning of the year, Zhang Shuai / Stosur only reached the second round of the women's doubles and was eliminated, and the Indian Wells Crown Was also out early and came to Miami to continue to slump. Yang Zhaoxuan and Xu Yipan won consecutive victories in the last WTA Indian Wells Crown Tournament, and won the women's doubles crown in a blockbuster, the two did not cooperate on this station, Yang Zhaoxuan and Alexandrova cooperated to play.
