PARIS — With many of her tennis peers rallied around her, Casey Dellacqua has reached another Grand Slam doubles final. On Sunday, she will be hoping that No. 7 brings her luck at Roland Garros.
Dellacqua, who has lost all six of her previous appearances in Grand Slam women’s doubles finals, advanced on Friday at the French Open with her partner, Ashleigh Barty. They will face the top-seeded pair, Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Lucie Safarova.
“Obviously, I’ve done it many times — and I’ve won a mixed title — but I haven’t got one of the women’s doubles,” Dellacqua said after she and Barty, an unseeded pair of Australians, won their semifinal in three sets against the sixth-seeded pair from the Czech Republic, Lucie Hradecka and Katerina Siniakova.
