Dabrowski and Routliffe, the sixteenth seeds on the New York hard court, defeated the German Laura Siegemund and the Russian Vera Zvonareva, the twelfth seeds, after 2 hours and 11 minutes with 7-6 (11/9) and 6-3.
The 31-year-old Dabrowski has never won a Grand Slam title in women’s doubles before. She has already won the Australian Open (2018) and Roland Garros (2017) in mixed doubles. For the 28-year-old Routliffe, it is her first final victory in doubles at a Grand Slam.
The 35-year-old Siegemund and the 39-year-old Zvonareva triumphed at each other’s side at the US Open in 2020. Zvonareva previously won the women’s doubles final in the United States for the first time in 2006, as well as at the Australian Open in 2012.
