NOTTINGHAM — Ottawa’s Gabriela Dabrowski and teammate Erin Routliffe have won the women’s doubles title at the Rothesay Open, which is a grass-court warmup for Wimbledon.

The top seeds outlasted Britain’s Harriet Dart and Diane Parry of France 5-7, 6-3, 11-9 in the final.

It was the first win of 2024 for Dabrowski and Routliffe, who were the 2023 U.S. Open women’s doubles champions.

The duo reached the final of the Miami Open in March.

They advanced to the final in Nottingham, England after an earlier straight sets semifinal win over China’s Zhang Shuai and Ashlyn Krueger of the U-S.
