Women's Doubles
2017 Wimbledon Championships
Champions	Ekaterina Makarova Elena Vesnina
Runners-up	Chan Hao-ching Monica Niculescu
Final score	6–0, 6–0
Draw	64 (4 Q / 3 WC / 3 LL )
Seeds	16

Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina won the title, defeating Chan Hao-ching and Monica Niculescu in the final, 6–0, 6–0. This is the first time since 1953 that a women's doubles final at Wimbledon ended with either of the teams failing to win a single game. Makarova and Vesnina became the first post-Soviet Russians to win the Wimbledon women's doubles title.

Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Lucie Šafářová were attempting to hold all four Grand Slam double titles at the same time, after having won the 2016 US Open, and the 2017 Australian and French Open titles. The pair withdrew from their scheduled second round match on 7 July following an acute knee injury suffered by Mattek-Sands in the second round of the Ladies' Singles competition the previous day.[2]
