Krejcikova and Katerina Siniakova win women’s doubles titleCzech is first player to win both
Paris titles since Mary PierceNot since the 2000 edition of the
French Open, when Mary Pierce followed her poignant, emotional singles revival by victoriously teaming up with the great Martina Hingis in doubles, had anyone done the double, winning singles and doubles titles at Roland Garros.
But over the past few days, Barbora Krejcikova has made the feat look easy. One day after a life-changing afternoon in her
Tennis career when she beat Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova to win a surprise first singles grand slam title, the Czech returned to the same court with her longtime partner, Katerina Siniakova, and they defeated Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Iga Swiatek 6-4, 6-2 in a match between the two most recent singles champions.
