LONDON (AP) — After seeing longtime doubles partner Barbora Krejcikova win the Wimbledon singles title, Katerina Siniakova went out on Centre Court and added another Grand Slam trophy to her own collection.

Siniakova won her third women’s doubles title at Wimbledon after teaming up with Taylor Townsend to beat Gabriela Dabrowski and Erin Routliffe 7-6 (5), 7-6 (1) on Saturday in a match that finished after 10:20 p.m. local time under floodlights.

“Amazing. I’m so proud of Barbora,” Siniakova said of her Czech countrywoman. “I’m just so happy that we could do it as well.”

Siniakova has won seven major doubles titles with Krejcikova and one with Coco Gauff at this year’s French Open. This was her first with Townsend, an American whose previous best Grand Slam result in doubles was two runner-up finishes at the 2022 U.S. Open — in a loss to Siniakova and Krejcikova — and 2023 French Open.

Townsend said it was Siniakova’s idea for the two of them to play together at Wimbledon.

“I’m so glad Katerina slid into my DMs,” Townsend said.

A bit more than six hours after Krejcikova beat Jasmine Paolini in the women’s singles final, the fourth-seeded Siniakova and Townsend converted their first match point when Routliffe double-faulted.

Siniakova and Townsend failed to convert any of their seven break points in the second set but raced to 5-0 in the tiebreaker.

It was the third match of the day on Centre Court after the men’s doubles final.

Siniakova and Krejcikova won the Wimbledon doubles in 2022 and 2018.

In a thrilling match at the Wimbledon women’s doubles final, the team of Barbora Siniakova and Taylor Townsend emerged victorious over Gabriela Dabrowski and Erin Routliffe. The match showcased the incredible skill and determination of all four players, but ultimately it was Siniakova and Townsend who came out on top.

Siniakova and Townsend, both accomplished doubles players in their own right, displayed excellent teamwork and communication throughout the match. Their chemistry on the court was evident as they worked together seamlessly to outmaneuver their opponents and secure crucial points.

Dabrowski and Routliffe, on the other hand, put up a strong fight and showed impressive resilience in the face of tough competition. Their aggressive playing style and powerful shots kept Siniakova and Townsend on their toes, but ultimately they were unable to overcome their opponents’ strategic play.

The match was a true display of the talent and skill that these players possess, and it was a joy to watch them compete at such a high level. Siniakova and Townsend’s victory is a testament to their hard work and dedication to their craft, and they should be proud of their accomplishment.

As the Wimbledon women’s doubles champions, Siniakova and Townsend have solidified their place among the elite players in the world of tennis. Their win is sure to inspire aspiring doubles players everywhere to strive for greatness and never give up on their dreams.

Overall, the Wimbledon women’s doubles final was a thrilling and competitive match that showcased the best of what these players have to offer. Congratulations to Barbora Siniakova and Taylor Townsend on their well-deserved victory!
