French Open: Gauff-Siniakova Clinch Women's Doubles Title
Seeded no. 5 in the draw, Gauff and Siniakova only paired up for the French Open due to injuries sidelining their expected partners. Gauff was originally set to play with Jessica Pegula, who missed the entire clay-court season due to injury. Meanwhile, Siniakova's usual partners, Australia's Storm Hunter and Taylor Townsend, were also out with injuries. Hunter ruptured her Achilles at the Billie Jean King Cup in April, and Townsend injured her ankle in Rabat just before the French Open.
Townsend, recovering from her injury, played a pivotal role in facilitating the last-minute partnership between Gauff and Siniakova. "Really, I was trying to find an American to play with because Jessie pulled out, and obviously the Olympics are going to be here," Gauff explained earlier in the tournament. "My whole plan at the start of the year was to try to play with somebody I could potentially play with at the Olympics."
