Swiatek and Ruud, the No. 3 seeds, beat top-seeded Jessica Pegula 3-5, 5-3, 10-8 in a match tiebreaker in the first semifinal, in what was probably the best match of an event that was overhauled this year. They trailed 8-4 in the tiebreaker after Swiatek double-faulted, then ran off six straight points to advance.
Errani and Vavassori then beat Danielle Collins and Christian Harrison 4-2, 4-2.
After a short break, the finalists would be back on the court to wrap up an event that was completed over two days, well before singles play starts Sunday.
