Barbora Krejcikova and Kateřina Siniaková suffered a shock loss in round 1 to Ulrikke Eikeri and Eri Hozumi as the most dominant pair in the sport currently went out early despite taking the first set.

The controversy of the tournament came arguably in the disqualification of Aldila Sutjiadi and Miyu Kato after a ball girl was struck by a stray ball, and the players were kicked out of the tournament at the behest of their opponents Marie Bouzkova and Sara Sorribes Tormo.

While the title in the Women's Doubles eventually went to Hsieh Su-wei and Wang Xinyu after they overcame Leylah Fernandez and Taylor Townsend in the final, the mixed version of the event when to Kato and her German partner Tim Puetz, meaning there was a happy ending to the Japanese player's tournament. The pair beat surprise finalists Bianca Andreescu and Michael Venus 4-6, 6-4, 10-6 in the deciding set tie-break.

Meanwhile, Ivan Dodig of Croatia and Austin Krajicek of the US defeated Belgian duo Sander Gille and Joran Vliegen 6-3, 6-1 in the Men's Doubles final.

All this and more as Will Boucek from the Tennis Tribe - a doubles specialist website - joins John to dissect all that went down in Paris.
