Bouncing Czechs win Women’s doubles

Top seeds Barbora Krejcikova and Katerina Siniakova won their fourth Grand Slam on Sunday, winning the Australian Open women’s doubles title against Kazakstan’s Anna Danilina and Brazilian Beatriz Haddad Maia.

The Czech pair came back from a set down to win 6-7 (3/7), 6-4, 6-4, making uo for last year when they lost in the final to Elise Mertens and Aryna Sabalenka.

“I want to thank my partner Katerina,” Krejcikova said.

“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.”
