At the beginning of the US Open, Peng Shuai, who had been dormant for more than half a season due to injury, began to recover. Coming to Guangzhou this week, Peng Shuai first eliminated the defending champion Wang Qiang in the first round of singles, and the doubles also reached the final.

Tonight's women's doubles final, Peng Shuai/ Sigmund swept Guardi/Olmos 6-2, 6-1 to win the title.

For Peng Shuai, this championship is somewhat of a surprise, she and Sigmund decided to pair up 10 minutes before the women's doubles registration deadline. "I was still playing in Nanchang and I was thinking of finding a doubles partner, so I called Wang Yafan, and she said it was in South Korea." Peng Shuai said that several potential doubles partners contacted before had to play the Wuhan Open Qualifying Tournament, and she could not find a suitable partner for a while, "I did not expect to receive a call from the referee chief, saying that Sigmund wanted to match." I was lying in bed getting ready to go to bed, I said yes in one bite, and then I won the championship. ”

This is Peng Shuai's 23rd tour doubles title and her fourth time winning the title at the Broadcasting Network. It is worth mentioning that Peng Shuai won the championship four times in the Guangzhou women's doubles finals, and played with 4 different players, and the partners who won the previous three championships were Yan Zi (2007), 2013 (Xie Shuwei) and Mohammed (2016).

Next, Peng Shuai will take a wild card to participate in the Wuhan Open of the Super Five, and her opponent in the first round is Grand Slam winner Mugulaza. The Spanish girl, despite being the world number one, has not been in good shape lately, having suffered a five-game losing streak on the tour after losing to Xie Shuwei in the first round of osaka this week.
