Barbora Krejcikova wins women's doubles with Katerina Siniakova to complete French Open sweep

French Open champion Barbora Krejcikova completed the title sweep at Roland Garros, winning her third women's doubles major trophy with Czech teammate Katerina Siniakova on Sunday.

Krejcikova and Siniakova beat Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Iga Swiatek 6-4, 6-2. 

"Right now after all of this happened, this last two weeks, last two days, I feel really relieved and relaxed," Krejcikova said, according to The Associated Press (h/t ESPN). "I just know from now on I can really enjoy because I have pretty much achieved everything I really wanted. Now I can just improve. That's the only thing I can do, just improving."

Krejcikova claimed her first singles Grand Slam title on Saturday with a win over Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. She is the first woman since Mary Pierce in 2000 to lift both trophies at the French Open. Only seven women have completed the title sweep at Roland Garros. 

The 25-year-old also became the first player to sweep both titles at any Grand Slam tournament since Serena Williams at Wimbledon in 2016.
