The co-ed, WTA 1000-point clay tournament is taking place in the Italian capital. Xie Shuwei and Ostapenko have been away for nearly two months, and they have re-teamed up in Madrid, the same level in the previous stop, and have won three consecutive victories together, including two 6:2 sweeps of Slovakia Mikhalikova/British Nicoles in the first round; Now, no coincidence, the Hsieh/Ostapenko duo met Si Ying's original team in the first round of Piazza Italia, and they are expected to use their experience and winning momentum to repel their defeats once again and continue to warm up for the Grand Slam event of the French Open in late May.
At the Rome Open, Chinese Taipei also had three groups of Chinese Taipei, with Wu Fangxian/China's Jiang Xinyu teaming up again to meet Italy's third seeds Elani/Paulini, who won gold medals at the Paris Olympics. Zhan Haoqing/Mexico's Eurmosis face off against China's Wang Xinyu/Zheng Saisai.
