Historic Doubles Triumph: Townsend and Siniakova Win US Open to Complete Grand Slam
Summary
Katerina Siniakova and Taylor Townsend made history by winning the women's doubles at the US Open, completing a career doubles Grand Slam as a pairing. The top seeds staged a remarkable comeback from a set down to defeat American wildcards Ashlyn Krueger and Robin Montgomery with a final score of 5-7, 6-0, 6-2 in New York.
This victory at Flushing Meadows marks their achievement of all four Grand Slam titles, adding to their previous wins at:
- Wimbledon in 2024
- Australian Open in 2025
- French Open in 2026
For Katerina Siniakova, this triumph represents her 12th Grand Slam doubles title, making her the first player to complete a career Slam with two different partners, having previously achieved this feat with Barbora Krejcikova.
On the other hand, for Taylor Townsend, this victory signifies her first US Open doubles title after narrowly losing in the final last year alongside Siniakova to Gabriela Dabrowski and Erin Routliffe.
Although Siniakova and Townsend had not dropped a set leading up to the final, they lost the first set after Siniakova double-faulted three times in the last game. However, they regrouped to dominate the second set, winning 23 of 27 points after the first game, which set the stage for a decisive third set.
Siniakova and Townsend maintained their momentum, securing an early break in the third set to lead 3-1, and they confidently closed out the match.
Siniakova is now among only eight women to have achieved at least 12 Grand Slam doubles titles in the Open era. If she finishes the season as the world number one in doubles, it will be her sixth time achieving this rank, breaking the record previously held by Martina Navratilova for the most year-end top-ranked finishes in WTA history.
