A day after winning her maiden Grand Slam singles title at the French Open, surprise champion Barbora Krejcikova completed a rare Paris title sweep. The 25-year-old won the women’s doubles final with fellow Czech Katerina Siniakova and became seventh woman in history to achieve the Roland Garros double, the last one being France’s Mary Pierce in 2000.
Krejcikova and Siniakova, seeded second this fortnight, defeated seeds No.14 Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Iga Swiatek 6-4 6-2 in Sunday’s final. The Czech team has now clinched three major titles together, having also won the French Open and Wimbledon in 2018.
