The French women won the competition on Sunday, beating Americans Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula in three sets.

Back to the top! Caroline Garcia and Kristina Mladenovic won the women’s doubles tournament on Sunday, June 5, after their forceps victory against the formidable Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula (2-6, 6-3, 6-2). However, the tricolor pair started their match badly, as often during this tournament. Les Bleues wasted six break points, then conceded the first set.

More effective and biting, the Americans then paid the price for the new face presented by the French duo. Unpredictable and solid on their services, Les Bleues outsmarted their rivals to snatch a decisive last set. Carried by an imperial Caroline Garcia in the net, the tricolor pair won the final after 1h44 of play.

Caroline Garcia and Kristina Mladenovic win their second Grand Slam title together, six years after a first title at Porte d’Auteuil. Eliminated in the first rounds in singles, the French women were able to devote themselves fully to their quest. Recipients of an invitation to the doubles tournament, “Caro” and “Kiki” are making their return to the fore in the best of ways, after a separation of several years due to a dispute. They played together again on the circuit during the Australian Open.
