This is world No.9 Perez’s seventh career WTA doubles title and her second on grass, following victory at WTA 250 level at ‘s-Hertogenbosch in 2022.

Perez and Melichar-Martinez are now on a three-match winning streak in finals as a team, an impressive turnaround from eight consecutive finals losses recorded between September 2022 and February this year.

The in-form duo now turn their attention to Wimbledon, where they are the third seeds in the women’s doubles competition.
