Coco Gauff and Katerina Siniakova, the No. 5 seeds, have won the French Open women's doubles title, defeating Jasmine Paolini and Sara Errani 7-6(5), 6-3. This victory marks Gauff's first Grand Slam doubles title and Siniakova's eighth, including her third at the French Open. The match showcased a strong performance from Gauff and Siniakova, who were playing together for the first time. Gauff, now a Grand Slam champion in both singles and doubles, achieved this milestone at the age of 20. The duo's win is particularly notable as Gauff's usual partner, Jessica Pegula, was injured, leading to this new partnership. Paolini, who also reached the singles final, and Errani put up a commendable fight but ultimately fell short. Siniakova's experience and Gauff's determination were key factors in their triumph. This win also served as a measure of revenge for Gauff, who previously lost with her partner Routliffe in the Rome final to the Italians.
