Taylor Townsend and Katerina Siniakova made history by winning their first US Open women’s doubles title together on Friday, completing a career grand slam as a pairing. The top seeds overcame a set deficit to defeat wildcards Ashlyn Krueger and Robin Montgomery with a final score of 5-7, 6-0, 6-2 on Arthur Ashe Stadium.

This victory marks a significant achievement for the duo, following their previous triumphs at:

• Wimbledon in 2024
• Australian Open in 2025
• French Open earlier this year

For Townsend, this win represents her fourth major title, while Siniakova celebrated her twelfth doubles major, making her the first player to complete a career grand slam with two different partners, having previously partnered with Barbora Krejcikova.

The match began with challenges for the top seeds as Siniakova struggled with three double faults in the final game of the first set, marking the first set they dropped in the tournament. However, they rebounded in the second set, winning 23 of 27 points to force a decisive set, which they dominated.

Reflecting on the match, Siniakova expressed her pride, stating, “There was a lot of nerves. We were really fighting for this one, so I’m just really proud. We did it.” With this victory, Siniakova also became only the eighth woman in the Open era to win 12 or more major doubles titles.

In an impressive run, Krueger and Montgomery, who rank 570th and 610th in doubles respectively, advanced past the defending champions Erin Routliffe and Gabriela Dabrowski in the quarterfinals and semifinals. Krueger noted, “We put (the wild card) to really good use.”

After the match, Townsend dropped to her knees in joy, telling Siniakova, “We finally did it.” She added, “If flipping the script had a face, you’d see my face.”

This triumph not only solidifies their legacy but also sets the stage for Siniakova to potentially surpass Martina Navratilova for the most seasons ending as the top-ranked player if she finishes the year as world No. 1 for the sixth time.
