Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Lucie Šafářová were the defending champions, but lost in the first round to Kiki Bertens and Johanna Larsson.

Martina Hingis and Sania Mirza were attempting to complete a non-calendar-year Grand Slam, but lost in the third round to Barbora Krejčíková and Kateřina Siniaková. It would have been Hingis' second non-calendar-year Grand Slam, following her first in 1998–99, and also would have completed a triple career Grand Slam in women's doubles.

This marked the first major main draw appearance of the team of Krejčíková and Siniaková; they reached the semifinals before losing to Makarova and Vesnina.
