She has enjoyed even greater success in doubles and mixed doubles, winning Grand Slam titles across multiple disciplines and establishing herself as one of the world's elite doubles specialists.\n<\/p>\n\n<h3>Playing Style<\/h3>\n\n<p>\nSiegemund is renowned for her tactical intelligence, creativity and ability to disrupt opponents' rhythm.
