Paris, June 11 (SocialNews.XYZ) Czech Republic's Barbora Krejcikova could become the first woman since Mary Pierce of France in 2000 to clinch both the singles and doubles French Open titles after the 25-year-old advanced on Friday to the final with partner Katerina Siniakova .
Barbora and Katerina defeated Polish-American pair Magda Linette and Bernarda Pera 6-1, 6-2 on Friday.
Barbora and Katerina will meet Poland's Iga Swiatek and American Bethanie Mattek-Sands -- who overcame Irina-Camelia Begu of Romania and Nadia Podoroska of Argentina 6-3, 6-4 -- in the final.
