MELBOURNE – Top seeds Barbora Krejcikova and Katerina Siniakova won their fourth Grand Slam Sunday, sweeping to the Australian Open women’s doubles title against Kazakstan’s Anna Danilina and Brazilian Beatriz Haddad Maia.
The Czech pair battled from a set down to come through 6-7 (3/7), 6-4, 6-4 on Rod Laver Arena and go one better than last year when they were runners up to Elise Mertens and Aryna Sabalenka.
“I want to thank my partner Katerina,” said Krejcikova, the world’s fourth-ranked singles player.
“She’s been playing with me for a very long time and I’m happy we are still working really, really well together. I’m looking forward to the next adventure.”
