In the women's doubles final, Anna-Lena Groenefeld and Vania King conjured a come-from-behind win to take the title. The German and American pair lost the first set to Polish duo Klaudia Jans and Alicja Rosolska 6-3 but turned the tables to take the second set 7-5. In the match tiebreaker they steadied and held their nerve where their opposition didn't and claimed it 10-5.
