US Open 2025 live updates: Women’s final latest before Amanda Anisimova plays Aryna Sabalenka

Taylor Townsend and Kateřina Siniaková entered the U.S. Open women’s doubles final having not dropped a set. The top seed was poised to win a second Grand Slam of 2025, at Townsend’s home major.

Gabriela Dabrowski and Erin Routliffe had other ideas, beating Townsend and Siniaková 6-4, 6-4. In December, Dabrowski revealed she played through a breast cancer diagnosis and treatment during 2024.

“Having gone through so much, the perspective I found was that I get to play tennis,” Dabrowski told reporters earlier in the tournament. “I could retire tomorrow and be very happy with my career and my friendships I’ve built throughout the years. So I’m really good inside as a person now.”

For Townsend, the result ends a challenging and memorable U.S. Open after a first-week altercation in which Jelena Ostapenko told Townsend, who is Black, that she had “no class.”

Townsend said after the final: “It can be overwhelming when you want to win so badly, but ultimately… I feel like I’ve already won no matter the result. So we gave it everything, and that’s all that matters. We’ll have other shots”.
