Siniakova and Townsend Dominate in Paris to Win First French Open Women’s Doubles Crown

Top seeds Katerina Siniakova and Taylor Townsend have been crowned champions of the French Open 2026 women’s doubles, sealing a major milestone in their partnership with a straight-sets victory in Paris.

The Czech-American duo produced a composed and clinical performance to defeat second seeds Anna Danilina and Aleksandra Krunić in the final, winning 6-2, 7-5 to claim their first Roland Garros title together.

The win was especially significant as it confirms their dominance on tour, with the pair already established as one of the strongest doubles teams in women’s tennis. Despite pressure in the second set, Siniakova’s consistency and Townsend’s aggressive net play proved decisive in closing out the match.

This triumph adds another major achievement to their growing partnership, giving them their third Grand Slam title as a team, and further strengthening their reputation as elite competitors on the WTA doubles circuit.

For Siniakova, the victory adds to an already decorated career, increasing her Grand Slam doubles tally to 11 major titles, including multiple successes at Roland Garros. For Townsend, the win represents another breakthrough moment on the biggest stage, highlighting her rise as one of the top doubles specialists in the world.

The final also extended the disappointment for Danilina and Krunić, who suffered their second consecutive French Open final defeat after earlier heartbreaks this season.

With this victory, Siniakova and Townsend not only lift the trophy in Paris but also underline their status as one of the most consistent and dominant partnerships in modern women’s doubles tennis.
