on september 7, beijing time, the women's doubles final of the 2024 us open was held. the combination of chinese player zhang shuai and french player mladenovic lost to the combination of latvian player ostapenko and ukrainian player chichenok and finished second.

in the first set, ostapenko/chichenok successfully broke the serve of zhang shuai/mladenovic in the first game. although zhang shuai/mladenovic successfully broke back in the 7th game, they were broken again by their opponents in the game they had to defend, thus losing the first set 4-6.

in the second set, zhang shuai/mladenovic broke the serve first in the first game, but then they were broken in their third and fourth service games, allowing ostapenko/chichenok to serve for the match point.

in the end, the zhang shuai/mladenovic combination lost to the ostapenko/chichenok combination 4-6/3-6 and won the runner-up in the women's doubles of this us open, while the ostapenko/chichenok combination won the first grand slam women's doubles championship in their careers.
