Taylor Townsend is emerging as one of the clear protagonists of this US Open 2025. After making it to the fourth round of the singles draw, the American has also made it to the doubles semifinals alongside Katerina Siniakova, defeating the pair Venus/Leylah. Later, at a press conference, she took the opportunity to send a message to all those who tend to undervalue the doubles circuit.
“Doubles is not a minor game or a different sport; it is just as challenging and, additionally, requires different skills. It demands the same discipline, focus, intention, and intensity, but also other tools. Kat (Siniakova) and I are very vocal about this issue, trying to change the narrative around what people feel and think about doubles. Many try to make you believe that if you play doubles, it's because you can't be a good singles player. We need to change that mindset; there's no need to choose one discipline over the other, you can excel in both,” expressed the American.
