In a gripping final on Rod Laver Arena, top seeds Katerina Siniakova and Taylor Townsend triumphed over Hsieh Su-Wei and Jelena Ostapenko 6-2 6-7(4) 6-3 to claim the women’s doubles title at the 2025 Australian Open. The victory marks another milestone for the Czech-American pairing, who overcame a spirited comeback by the No.3 seeds to clinch their second Grand Slam as a duo.
For Townsend, the match held special significance as it brought her back to the court where her professional journey began. “The last time I played on this court I was 15, and in 2012 I won the juniors here and that was the kick start,” Townsend said.
