Ottawa’s Dabrowski, Brazil’s Stefani advance to Wimbledon women’s doubles final

Jul 10, 2026 | 10:06 AM

WIMBLEDON — Ottawa’s Gabriela Dabrowski and Brazil’s Luisa Stefani advanced to the women’s doubles final at Wimbledon with a 7-5, 6-3 win over Japan’s Shuko Aoyama and Taiwan’s En-shuo Liang on Friday.

Dabrowski and Stefani, the second seeds, have yet to lose a set at the grass-court Grand Slam.

Aoyama and Liang, seeded 13th at the All England Club, were an even match for Dabrowski and Stefani to start the contest until failing to defend the only break point of the first set in the final game.

Dabrowski and Stefani, who didn’t face break point, earned another crucial break to go up 5-3 in the second set, then forced their opponents into an error to convert their first match point.

Stefani and Dabrowski are seeking their fourth tournament win of the season, and are into their first Grand Slam final of the year after losing in the semifinals at the Australian Open and the French Open.

They will face either 10th seeds Hanyu Guo of China and Kristina Mladenovic of France or the Chinese pair of Xinyu Jiang and Yifan Xu in Sunday’s final.

Stefani and Dabrowski will avoid another meeting with French Open champions Katerina Siniakova of Czechia and Taylor Townsend of the United States at the tournament after the top seeds were upset by Guo and Mladenovic in the quarterfinals. Siniakova and Townsend have defeated Dabrowski and Stefani twice this season, including in the semifinals at Roland Garros.
