MONTREAL — Three days after conquering Flushing Meadows, Gabriela Dabrowski still finds it hard to believe what she has accomplished.
The 31-year-old tennis player from Ottawa and her playing partner Erin Routliffe defeated Laura Siegemund and Vera Zvonareva 7-6 , 6-3 to claim the women's doubles title at the U.S. Open.
"I reached the final at Wimbledon in 2019, so I came very close. But to find myself in another final and to be able to win with another Canadian … it's truly remarkable." Dabrowski has won two mixed doubles titles at Grand Slam events — in 2017 at the French Open and in 2018 at the Australian Open. However, she considers Sunday's victory on the New York hard court as her greatest achievement.
Dabrowski, a WTA doubles winner in Toronto and Madrid with Brazilian partner Luisa Stefani, won't have much time to celebrate this victory. She will leave for the Guadalajara Masters on Friday before continuing on to two tournaments in Asia.In the medium term, however, it's the Paris 2024 Olympics that she has her sights on.
