On Friday’s final at Arthur Ashe Stadium, Taylor Townsend (United States) and Katerina Siniakova (Czech Republic) defeated the wild-card duo of Ashlyn Krueger and Robin Montgomery 5-7, 6-0, 6-2. After losing the opening set, the top-seeded pair rallied to dominate the second and third sets, securing their first US Open women’s doubles title as a team and completing a career Grand Slam together.
