Krawczyk was born in California to a Filipina mother and a Polish father.

Her mother hails from Cagayan.

"Both my parents came to America -- my dad is Polish, my mom is Filipino -- and my dad picked up tennis when he was a massage therapist in Palm Springs," said the 27-year-old in an interview with WTATennis.com.

Krawczyk and Salisbury beat Giuliana Olmos and Marcelo Arevalo (7-5, 6-2) to win the US Open, and notched their second major title as a team.

With the victory, Krawczyk became the first player to win three straight major mixed doubles trophies since Mahesh Bhupathi in 2005 and 2006.
