Aleksandra Krunić and Magda Linette defeated Lyudmyla Kichenok and Jeļena Ostapenko by virtue of walkover to win the women's doubles tennis title at the 2022 Eastbourne International, as Ostapenko incurred a right toe injury before the final match. Krunić and Linette claimed the title by winning only two matches, as their opponents in the semifinals also withdrew. It marked Krunić's sixth career WTA Tour doubles title and Linette's second.[1][2]
