RIA Pro athlete Gaby Dabrowski and partner Erin Routliffe claimed a milestone victory in Cincinnati, lifting their first WTA 1000 trophy together. The win adds to an impressive partnership that has already produced Grand Slam titles, Finals championships, and career-high rankings since the duo first teamed up in Montreal two years ago.
On Sunday night in Cincinnati, Dabrowski and Routliffe defeated Guo Hanyu and Alexandra Panova 6-4, 6-3 to claim the women’s doubles crown. It was their second title of 2025 and sixth overall as partners.
For Routliffe, it was also a repeat – she lifted the Cincinnati trophy last year with Asia Muhammad. For Dabrowski, the moment carried added meaning: just a year ago, she was undergoing radiation treatment for breast cancer.
A trailblazer in Canadian tennis since becoming the first Canadian woman to win a Grand Slam title in 2017, Gaby continues to push the game forward with sharp net play and relentless determination. With Cincinnati now checked off the list, she and Routliffe turn their focus to New York for a chance at another US Open crown.
Gaby is part of the RIA Pro Team and trusts the Versa [Court HD+] and Nova [Court HD+] on court for their sharp clarity and lightweight feel.
