A new duo are crowned Mixed Doubles Champions in Paris 👑 Relive the best moments from Miyu Kato and Tim Puetz's win over Bianca Andreescu and Michael Venus in the final. #RolandGarros
Former World No.4 Bianca Andreescu was unable to secure a second Grand Slam title, falling short in the Roland Garros (French Open) final of the mixed doubles tournament.
The Canadian teamed up with New Zealand's Michael Venus for the event, reaching the final as an unseeded team. However, they fell to the unseeded duo of Japan's Miyu Kato and Germany's Tim Puetz, who prevailed 4-6 6-4 10-6 in the match tiebreak to capture their maiden Grand Slam title.
"I think most doubles matches are literally a point here, a point there that really, really count, but I thought we played great,” Andreescu said. “They came in clutch in a few certain moments.
“Yeah, it’s a Grand Slam final. It’s very nice to be here. Obviously it’s a bit disappointing, but I think we did our best.”
Andreescu and Venus are yet to decide if they'll team up for the Wimbledon mixed doubles event, with Venus saying he’ll just have turn his phone on “loud” and wait for the call.
“We haven’t spoken about that yet, but if the time comes and I’m ready to play mixed doubles or I want to play mixed doubles and I’m healthy and all that, then I would love to,” Andreescu said.
