Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Lucie Šafářová were the defending champions, but neither player could participate this year due to injury.
Chan Yung-jan and Martina Hingis won the title, defeating Shuko Aoyama and Yang Zhaoxuan in the final, 7–6(7–5), 3–6, [10–4].
As a result of Šafářová's withdrawal, Hingis will regain the WTA no. 1 doubles ranking at the conclusion of the tournament.
The top four seeds received a bye into the second round.
