Quarterfinal Berth Secured at Flushing Meadows

With this win, Siniaková continues her pursuit of a twelfth career Grand Slam women’s doubles title and her thirteenth overall major crown.

“We didn’t play our best tennis today. It was challenging, and we were all the more thrilled that we pulled it off and fought until the end,” Siniaková told Czech reporters after the match, noting that the partners struggled to find their rhythm early on.
Second-Set Momentum and Next Opponents
According to match reports, the second set remained tight until the concluding games, when Siniaková and Townsend capitalized on Hunter’s service struggles at 5:4 to secure the decisive break and convert their second match point.
