FIRST TEAM TITLE OF THE SEASON

Top seeds Katerina Siniakova and Barbora Krejcikova eased to their first title as a pairing of 2019 with a 7-5, 6-0 victory over No.3 seeds Anna-Lena Groenefeld and Demi Schuurs in the Rogers Cup doubles final on Sunday. The 23-year-old Czechs, who finished last year as the World No.1 doubles team after winning both Roland Garros and Wimbledon, had only reached one final this season together prior to the Rogers Cup. However, the long-time doubles partners, who were also Grand Slam-winning sensations as juniors, capped off the title run with a commanding 65-minute victory to triumph in Toronto. “It’s really nice to have a title,” Siniakova said in their post-match press conference. “We had a few finals and finally we could reach the title. So it was a really good week for us.” “I think we played good matches, and we are so happy that we won the title,” Siniakova continued. “Hopefully the next weeks we can show even better tennis.” Source: wtatennis.com
