Dabrowski and Routliffe win US Open women’s doubles title, ending Townsend’s whirlwind tournament
Gabriela Dabrowski and Erin Routliffe won the U.S. Open women’s doubles title for the second time in three years by beating the top-ranked duo of Taylor Townsend and Katerina Siniakova. It is Dabrowski’s first major triumph since undergoing treatment for breast cancer. Townsend’s whirlwind time in Flushing Meadows comes to an end just short of what would have bene a third Grand Slam championship for her and Siniakova. Townsend was part of one of the biggest stories at the U.S. Open after reporting that opponent Jelena Ostapenko told her after their match she had “no class” and “no education.”
