Siniakova and Townsend reign in New York and complete the 'Career Grand Slam'

Katerina Siniakova and Taylor Townsend have made history at the 2026 US Open after defeating Ashlyn Krueger and Robin Montgomery in the final with a score of 5-7 6-0 6-0. The duo formed by the Czech and American tennis players has once again demonstrated why they are the number 1 in the world, and they have also achieved their first Career Grand Slam as a pair in an unforgettable year.

The match started uphill for Siniakova and Townsend against the American duo, who had received a wildcard for the tournament and made it to the final. The tension was palpable in the air, but little by little, Katerina and Taylor found their level and ended up overwhelming their rivals. In this way, the Czech player adds her second Career Grand Slam, after achieving it in 2022 alongside Barbora Krejcikova. In fact, she also did it on September 11 at the US Open. Today, the circle closes.

7 titles for Siniakova and Townsend in 2026

The year for both has been memorable from start to finish, with 7 titles that have crowned them as the best doubles players on the planet. Adelaide, Indian Wells, Miami, Madrid, Roland Garros, Toronto, and now the US Open. 7 finals and 7 victories that boost the duo's morale for the remainder of the season and to continue making history. Siniakova now has 12 Grand Slam titles in women's doubles, while Townsend only has 4.

It is impressive because the American player had been knocking on the door of major titles for years and even had to suffer the talent of Siniakova on that September 11, 2022. However, since they started teaming up, they have been unstoppable, and since joining the Czech, she has lifted the title at the Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, and now the US Open.
