Shelby Bates and Christine Maddox

came out on top of an 82-ball rally to end game 2, in which they had been trailing 10-3. They forced a deciding game 3 against Megan Fudge and Kara Wheatley, which Bates and Maddox won, 11-1. It was their first title as a pair, the first gold of 2026 for both and the first women's pro doubles gold of Maddox's career. Match of the year? Quite possibly.
