Ottawa’s Gabriela Dabrowski became the first Canadian to win a Grand Slam women’s doubles title Sunday when she and partner Erin Routliffe took the U.S. Open final in straight sets.

Dabrowski and Routliffe defeated Laura Siegemund of Germany and Vera Zvonareva of Russia 7-6 (9), 6-3 at Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Dabrowski, 31, became the first Canadian to win a Grand Slam since Bianca Andreescu was the U.S. Open women’s singles champion in 2019.

Dabrowski had previously won mixed doubles crowns at the Australian Open in 2018 and the French Open in 2017. The 31-year-old added the U.S. Open in her Grand Slam collection.

Ottawa’s Gabriela Dabrowski and her partner Erin Routliffe, who represents New Zealand but formerly represented Canada, beat Germany’s Laura Siegemund and Russia’s Vera Zvonareva 7-6(9), 6-3 to claim their first women’s doubles Grand Slam title in only their fourth tournament together. Routliffe was born in New Zealand to Canadian parents, but grew up in Caledon, Ont., and now lives in Montreal. Routliffe previously competed for Canada as a junior.
