Runners-up | Bethanie Mattek-Sands Iga Świątek |
Final score | 6–4, 6–2 |
Barbora Krejčíková and Kateřina Siniaková defeated Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Iga Świątek in the final, 6–4, 6–2, to win the women's doubles tennis title at the 2021 French Open. It was the pair's second French Open title and third major together. Krejčíková became the first woman to win both the singles and doubles tournaments at a Grand Slam since Serena Williams at the 2016 Wimbledon Championships, and the first to do so at the French Open since Mary Pierce in 2000, making her the seventh woman to accomplish the sweep in French Open history.[1]
By virtue of winning the title, Krejčíková also reclaimed the world No. 1 doubles ranking.[1] Kristina Mladenovic and Hsieh Su-wei were both in contention for the ranking at the beginning of the tournament, but Mladenovic had chosen not to participate and Hsieh lost in the third round.
Tímea Babos and Mladenovic were the two-time defending champions.[2] After Mladenovic did not return to defend her title, Babos played alongside Vera Zvonareva, but the pair lost in the first round to Petra Martić and Shelby Rogers.
