TENNIS – Latvian Jelena Ostapenko and Ukraine’s Lyudmyla Kichenok won the women’s doubles crown at the US Open with a 6-4 6-3 victory over Chinese-French pairing Zhang Shaui and Kristina Mladenovic yesterday.
The win marked the first women’s Grand Slam doubles title for former French Open singles champion Ostapenko and Kichenok, who also reached the final together at this year’s Australian Open.
“We are a really great team and I think it was just an amazing two weeks,” Ostapenko said during the oncourt trophy presentation.
