Third-Seeded Duo Advances in U.S. Open Women's Doubles

The Canadian-New Zealand pair of Gabriela Dabrowski and Erin Routliffe have booked their place in the third round of the U.S. Open women's doubles competition.

In a closely contested match, Dabrowski and Routliffe overcame Quinn Gleason (USA) and Ingrid Martins (Brazil) in two hours and 20 minutes. The match score read 6-7 (4), 6-4, 6-2 in favour of the third-seeded team.

The first set was a nail-biter, ending in a tiebreak. After a back-and-forth battle, Dabrowski and Routliffe managed to take a 4-2 lead in the second set. Despite Gleason and Martins cutting two-game deficits to one, the Canadian-New Zealand duo held their nerve to secure the set.

The third set was dominated by Dabrowski and Routliffe, who went into a 4-0 lead. They broke their opponents on three out of four opportunities during the match, ultimately closing it out with a backhand unforced error from Gleason and Martins.

The third round of the U.S. Open will be the next stage for Dabrowski and Routliffe. Their next opponents will be the 13th-seeded pair, Cristina Bucsa (Spain) and Nicole Melichar-Martinez (USA). This match promises to be a high-stakes encounter, as it could be a key deciding factor in the women's doubles competition.

The report about the U.S. Open was first published on Aug. 31, 2025, by The Canadian Press. The U.S. Open women's doubles competition will continue with this third-round match between Dabrowski and Routliffe and Bucsa and Melichar-Martinez.

In the next round, Dabrowski and Routliffe will face Barbora Siniakova and Lidziya Marozava Townsend. The third-seeded team will be aiming to continue their impressive run in the tournament.
