- Townsend and Siniakova completed their career Grand Slam as a pair by winning the US Open women's doubles title with a 5-7, 6-0, 6-2 victory over wild-card entrants Ashlyn Krueger and Robin Montgomery
- Siniakova calmed Townsend during a nervous start, helping the top seeds recover from losing the first set and three consecutive games to dominate the final two sets
- Townsend said the win meant "the world" to her, marking her fourth major doubles title after previous Grand Slam wins at Wimbledon 2024, Australian Open 2025, and this year’s French Open
- Siniakova claimed her 12th Grand Slam title, having previously won seven with Barbora Krejcikova and one with Coco Gauff before teaming up with Townsend
- Krueger and Montgomery, ranked 570th and 610th in doubles, made a surprise run to the final as wild cards, reuniting five years after winning the US Open girls' doubles title

Why it matters: For Townsend and Siniakova, completing a career Grand Slam together cements their partnership among the elite in women's doubles, while the result validates Townsend’s confidence after an early singles exit and gives Siniakova her 12th major title—more than any active woman except her former partner Krejcikova.
