2017 - Slam Breakthrough
2017 will be Spears' farewell year on tour. At the Australian Open, Spears partnered with Juan Sebastian Cabal to win the mixed doubles tournament. In the final, they defeated the second seeded team of Sania Mirza and Ivan Dodig 6-2, 6-4. The American-Colombian duo recovered from a 1-4 deficit in the second set to reel off five straight games to clinch the title. It was a revenge match for Spears, having lost to Mirza the last time Spears made it to a Slam final, losing 9-11 in the super tiebreak to Mirza and Bruno Soares at the 2014 US Open.
