Katerina Siniakova’s doubles dominance shows no signs of slowing down.
The Czech star – a 12-time major doubles Grand Slam winner – was honored at the WTA Finals in Indian Wells on Friday, receiving a trophy to commemorate her record-breaking sixth WTA Year-End No. 1 doubles ranking (records kept since 1984).
Siniakova was joined on court by WTA Chair Valerie Camillo and former World No. 1s Garbiñe Muguruza and Pam Shriver for the presentation.
“Securing the Year-End No. 1 Ranking for the sixth time is an incredible feeling,” Siniakova said. “It’s a testament to the hard work, dedication and consistency behind every season. I’m proud of what I’ve achieved, grateful to everyone who has been part of this journey, and motivated to keep pushing for more.”
The 30-year-old has enjoyed another spectacular season, capturing a Tour-leading seven doubles titles, including Roland-Garros and the US Open, while compiling a 54-8 record across the 2026 season so far.
Five of those titles came alongside Taylor Townsend, who completed the career Grand Slam in September at the US Open, with the other two coming alongside Zhang Shuai. Siniakova reached nine finals in 15 tournaments played this year/
Siniakova, who became the first player in the Open Era to complete the career Grand Slam in doubles with two different partners at the US Open (she also did that with Barbora Krejcikova) has spent 209 cumulative weeks atop the WTA doubles rankings, second only to Martina Navratilova’s 237 weeks.
She and Townsend are competing at their third consecutive WTA Finals together this week, and reached the semifinals on Thursday night with a 6-4, 4-2 RET win over Cristina Bucsa and Nicole Melichar-Martinez.
