Guadalajara, Mexico
Australian Storm Hunter and Belgian Elise Mertens will contest another doubles tournament final at the Guadalajara Open Akron.
The No.1 seeds only dropped one service game for the match as they defeated Americans Caroline Dolehide and Asia Muhammad 7-5 6-3 in the semifinal.
Hunter will now contest her third big final of the year with Mertens, after their title-winning run at the Italian Open in May and runners-up effort at Wimbledon.
The pair are yet to drop a set in the tournament as they look ahead to the final against No.3 seeds New Zealander Emma Routliffe and Canadian Gabriela Dabrowski.
Hunter, the current world No.6 in doubles, is aiming to defend the title she claimed with Brazilian Luisa Stefani in 2022.
