Siniakova, Townsend Triumph in Women's Doubles

Posted : 26 January 2025

Top seeds Katerina Siniakova and Taylor Townsend claimed the women's doubles title at the Australian Open on Sunday, defeating Jelena Ostapenko and Hsieh Su-wei 6-2, 6-7(4), 6-3 in a hard-fought final. The victory marked their second Grand Slam title together, following their Wimbledon win last year.

 

For Siniakova, it was her 10th major doubles title, further cementing her status as the world's No. 1 doubles player. After the win, Siniakova expressed her gratitude to Townsend, highlighting the enjoyment they share on the court.

 

The match featured intense moments, with Siniakova and Townsend securing a 2-1 lead after converting a break point, as Ostapenko and Hsieh struggled with their serve. The top seeds took control early, dominating the first set with a 5-1 lead before Townsend finished it off with a volley at the net.

 

In the second set, after several breaks, Townsend's overhead smash put them within one game of the title, but Ostapenko and Hsieh fought back. Townsend's service game faltered, and the match went to a tiebreaker, which the third seeds won to force a decisive third set.

 

The final set saw a shaky start for Siniakova, who was broken in the opening game after struggling with double faults. However, the duo quickly regained composure, breaking back and taking a 5-3 lead. Siniakova served for the match, and despite another double fault, Townsend sealed the victory with a volley at the net after two hours and 27 minutes of play. Reflecting on the match, Ostapenko praised their partnership, hopeful for future successes together.
