NEW YORK — Ottawa’s Gabriela Dabrowski claimed her first Grand Slam title in women’s doubles Sunday when she and partner Erin Routliffe won the U.S. Open final in straight sets.

Dabrowski and Routliffe defeated Laura Siegemund of Germany and Vera Zvonareva of Russia 7-6 (11-9), 6-3 at Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Dabrowski won mixed doubles crowns at the Australian Open in 2018 and the French Open in 2017.

Routliffe was born in New Zealand, but grew up in Caledon, Ont., and she previously competed for Canada.
