Kristina Mladenovic, Caroline Garcia win doubles title at French Open

PARIS: French pair Caroline Garcia and Kristina Mladenovic recovered from a set down to beat Americans Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula 2-6, 6-3, 6-2 on Sunday and lift the French Open women's doubles title for the second time.

For Gauff, it was a second final defeat in less than 24 hours, after the 18-year-old lost in straight sets by top seed Iga Swiatek in Saturday's singles final.

Garcia and Mladenovic won the title in 2016 and for the latter it was a fourth women's doubles crown at Roland Garros after also triumphing in 2019 and 2020 with Timea Babos. She now has six major doubles titles including the Australian Open in 2018 and 2020. Agencies
