Siniaková and Townsend were already tournament favorites, getting the top seed. The remarkable victory comes after Townsend was initially eliminated from the women’s singles category by Aryna Sabalenka.
The two initially dropped their first set after losing three games, ending at 5-7. However, they later found their ground in the tournament, taking the next sets 6-0, 6-2 against the Wildcard opponents.
The US Open is also Siniakova’s 12th Doubles Grand Slam and 39th women’s doubles title win. Before this, Siniaková and Townsend won Wimbledon in 2024, the Australian Open in 2025, and the French Open in 2026.
Previously, Siniakova has won seven doubles Grand Slams with fellow Czech player Barbora Krejcikova. Furthermore, she won the 2024 French Open with American Coco Gauff.
The career Grand Slam achievement may sound extraordinary, but there’s even more to it. Before Townsend, only 18 women had achieved it in the Open era. Siniaková, on the other hand, won her first doubles career Grand Slam in 2022 with Krejčíková. Interestingly, it was also by winning the US Open.
“Big thanks to Taylor. You are really fighting for this one, so I’m just really proud we did it. There were a lot of nerves … Thank you for staying by my side,” She said as the pair received their US Open trophy in front of a loud and excited Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York City.
