Highlights: Garcia and Mladenovic beat Hingis and Vandeweghe to make women's doubles final
In the final the duo - winners of the French Open earlier this year - will play American star Betthanie Mattek-Sands and Lucie Safarova, the duo who won both the Australian and French Open doubles titles in 2015.
Mattek-Sands was a gold medallist in the mixed doubles at the Rio Olympics alongside Jack Sock, and played a fine match alongside Safarova to see off two other Rio gold medallists in Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina, Olympic champions in the women's doubles last month.
Mattek-Sands and Safarova dominated the first set but were pushed hard in the second, eventually winning 6-2 7-6.
