Top seeds Katerina Siniakova and Taylor ⁠Townsend completed a team career Grand Slam with a 5-7 6-0 ‌6-2 win over American wildcard duo Ashlyn Krueger and Robin ‌Montgomery in the US Open women's ‌doubles final on Friday.

The win gave ‌Siniakova her 12th Grand Slam doubles ‌title and made her the first player to complete the career Grand Slam ‌with two different players having previously ⁠done it with ‌fellow Czech Barbora Krejcikova.

After a sluggish start, Siniakova ​and Townsend came alive in the second set where the ​2025 finalists fell behind 40-30 in the opening game before reeling off ⁠23 of ​the next 27 points to force a decider.

The 2025 finalists then consolidated an early break with a Siniakova hold at ‌love to move ahead 3-1 before Townsend served up a four-point game of her own for a 4-2 lead that set them on their way.

In the opening frame, the top-seeded pairing reeled off 13 consecutive points en route to reaching 4-4 before Siniakova, ‌serving with the sun in her ​face and looking to force ‌a tiebreak, double-faulted three times, including on set point.

Siniakova and Townsend won the Wimbledon women's doubles title in 2024, the Australian Open in 2025 ⁠and this year's ⁠French Open.
