Paris: Coco Gauff won her first Grand Slam doubles title by teaming with Katerina Siniakova for the French Open trophy on Sunday.
Gauff, a 20-year-old American who won the U.S. Open singles title last year, and Siniakova, who is from the Czech Republic, defeated Italians Jasmine Paolini and Sara Errani 7-6 (5), 6-3.
It was Gauff’s third women’s doubles final after losing championship matches at Roland Garros in 2022 and the U.S. Open in 2021.
In the 1 hour and 47-minute final, Gauff and Siniakova also trailed in the first set, though this time, they won it. After twice leading by a break, Gauff and Siniakova were two points away from losing the set at 5-4, 30-30 — and also trailed 5-3 in the tiebreak.
Guaff was the only player to not lose serve in the match, which saw nine breaks.
