After winning tie-breakers in the first and deciding third sets, No. 2-seeded Canada’s Dabrowski, 30, and Mexico’s Giuliana Olmos, 29, bested No. 3-seed Demi Schuurs, 28, of the Netherlands, and American Desirae Krawcyk, 28, 7-6(1), 5-7, 10-7.
The Madrid crown is Dabrowski’s 11th overall and Olmos’ fourth.
