At the post-match trophy ceremony, she said:

"This means a lot to me personally because Evan and I grew up on the south side of Chicago. We sent Touhy Park all the way to Roland Garros. So I hope that us standing here is an inspiration for people to know that you can do it and it's possible no matter where you come from, so we put on for our city. Thank you guys, we'll see you soon."

Townsend had also taken part in the women's doubles and singles events at Roland Garros, where she lost in the quarterfinals and first round, respectively.
