Canada’s Gabriela Dabrowski and partner Evan King of the U.S. lost their final match at the French Open on Thursday in Paris.
The duo won the first set 6-4 but dropped the next two sets (3-6, 4-10) to Italian teammates Sara Errani and Andrea Vassavori.
The Italian duo dominated the deciding match tiebreak on Court Philippe Chatrier and are the first pair to successfully defend the French Open mixed doubles title since Croatia’s Ivan Dodig and Taiwan’s Latisha Chan in 2018 and 2019.
This latest triumph marks a remarkable run of success for Errani and Vavassori, securing their fourth mixed doubles trophy in the last seven Grand Slam tournaments, a stretch that includes back-to-back U.S. Open titles in 2024 and 2025.
Dabrowski, of Ottawa, will play in the women’s doubles semifinal on Friday with partner Luisa Strefani of Brazil. They will face Kateřina Siniaková of Czechia and American Taylor Townsend for a spot in the final.
