\u201cKat, this has been fun. I\u2019m really enjoying being by your side, not only as a team, but getting to know each other. Sharing these moments together strengthens our bond.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m so grateful for this day, so happy, No.3 together, No.12 or 11 for you, whatever, we\u2019re still counting. Let\u2019s go!\u201d<\/p>\n
Townsend\u2019s blazing backhand pass, dipping low into the right tramline, earned the opening break for 3-2. The American\u2019s power combined with Siniakova\u2019s net game cemented their dominance.<\/p>\n
The Kazakhstani-Serbian combination, who also finished as Roland-Garros runners-up last June, fought back in the second set. Krunic managed to curl a magnificent defensive lob over the top seeds en route to an early 2-0 lead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The American then addressed her partner, who has now won an impressive 11 women\u2019s doubles majors. \u201cKat, this…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":689995,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[99,428],"class_list":["post-689994","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/689994","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=689994"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/689994\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/689995"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=689994"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=689994"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=689994"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
