Open Court

MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

The super-fun doubles pair of 2023 will not survive into 2024, according to Open Court's reliable sources.

Disappointed in singles, Leylah Fernandez still has women’s doubles with Taylor Townsend, and mixed as well.

She and Townsend got going Friday (in a winning vein), as did Cana-Kiwi Erin Routliffe and partner Alexa Guarachi, who lost a tough one.

And the No. 1 women’s doubles team – Krejcikova and Siniakova – were supposed in action. But Krejcikova retired, in the second set against young Russian Mirra Andreeva. And they withdrew.

(Wimbledon is five hours ahead of EDT).
