Italy's Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini defeated the Individual Neutral Athletes' Mirra Andreeva and Diana Shnaider in the final, 2–6, 6–1, [10–7] to win the gold medal in women's doubles tennis at the 2024 Summer Olympics. [1] It was Italy's first Olympic gold medal in tennis, and Errani completed the career Golden Slam (becoming the seventh woman to do so, after the Williams sisters, Pam Shriver, Gigi Fernández, Barbora Krejčíková, and Kateřina Siniaková) and became the oldest player to win an Olympic tennis gold. [2] In the bronze medal match, Spain's Cristina Bucșa and Sara Sorribes Tormo defeated Czechia's Karolína Muchová and Linda Nosková, 6–2, 6–2. It was Spain's first Olympic medal in women's tennis since 2008. [3]

The women's doubles tennis event at the 2024 Summer Olympics took place from 27 July to 4 August 2024 at the Stade Roland Garros, in Paris, France. [4] There were 64 players (32 teams) from 21 nations. [5]

Krejčíková and Siniaková were the defending champions from 2020, but lost in the quarterfinals to Andreeva and Shnaider. [6] Andreeva went on to become the second youngest player to win an Olympic tennis medal at the age of 17 years, 3 months and 6 days (after Jennifer Capriati, who won Olympic gold at the women's singles event in 1992 at the age of 16 years and 132 days). [2]

Qualification

Each National Olympic Committee (NOC) can enter up to two teams. Qualification for the women's doubles is primarily through the WTA ranking list. There are 32 quota places available for women's doubles. [5]
