Aleksandra Krunić and partner Ana Danilina will play Katerina Siniakova and Taylor Townsend for the Roland Garros women’s doubles title on Sunday at 11:00 on Court Philippe Chatrier.
The scheduled start time places the doubles final at the top of the day on the main show court, with the men’s singles final between Flavio Cobolli and Alexander Zverev set to begin no earlier than 15:00, leaving a clear window for spectators planning to attend both matches.
Krunić has reached her third Grand Slam doubles final with this appearance, and the matchup pairs the unclaimed-championship duo against the tournament’s top seeds. Siniakova and Townsend arrive in the title match as the highest-ranked pair in the draw; Krunić and Danilina earned their place in the final with victories across the fortnight that set up Sunday’s decisive match.
For Krunić and Danilina the final is immediate and personal: the pair are seeking their first Grand Slam trophy after back-to-back final defeats at the majors. Last year they lost the Roland Garros final to Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini, and earlier this season the team dropped the Australian Open final to Elise Mertens and Shuai Zhang. Those two losses frame this match as more than a single-week achievement — it is a chance to convert recurring runs into a first title.
The timing and court assignment underline the organizers’ view of the match’s significance. Chatrier’s schedule gives the women’s doubles final centre-court billing on Sunday morning, a slot that typically draws large crowds and broadcast attention. For fans and followers of Krunić, Danilina and the top seeds, the 11:00 start is the practical detail that determines travel, viewing and ticket plans for the day.
Tension entering the match is straightforward: Krunić and Danilina have now arrived at the third Grand Slam final of Krunić’s doubles career, and both partners have tasted defeat on this stage twice in recent major finals. That record creates an explicit question against the top-seeded opponents — can the pair that have twice fallen at the last hurdle overcome the seeding and secure a maiden major title on Chatrier?
The answer will arrive on Sunday, when the two teams take the court under the clay-court roof at Roland Garros. The fixture is the next confirmed event on the tournament schedule and the immediate test for Krunić and Danilina’s bid for a first Grand Slam crown. How they manage pressure, turning points and the top seeds’ experience will determine whether the pair leave Paris with a trophy or return to the question of closing the final step.
What happens next is simple and dateable: the women’s doubles final begins Sunday at 11:00 on Court Philippe Chatrier; the men’s singles final will follow no earlier than 15:00. The unresolved gap — whether Krunić and Danilina can finally convert successive finals into a maiden Grand Slam victory — will be settled by the result on Chatrier that morning.
