Shibahara and Koolhof broke early in the first set, only for the Eikeri and Vliegen to break back for 4-5 before the set was decided in a tiebreak, with Shibahara finishing it off at the net for the second-seeded pair to take the lead.
She wrapped up the first final of this year’s Roland Garros with the pair’s sixth ace of the match.
