It is 28-year-old Saville’s third career WTA doubles title – and first since combining with fellow Aussie Ellen Perez to win the Strasbourg title three years earlier.
Saville now turns her attention to Roland Garros, where she is playing only singles.
World No.29 Melichar-Martinez will partner another Australian in Paris, teaming up with Perez.
