US EditionItalians retain mixed doubles title
Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori won $1 million in prize money, five times last year's amount, highlighting their successful defense of the US Open mixed doubles title.
- On Aug. 20, 2025, Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori defended their U.S. Open mixed doubles title, defeating Iga Swiatek and Casper Ruud 6-3, 5-7, 10-6 at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
- The revamped mixed doubles format featured a 16-team field held a week before the main US Open singles schedule, using short sets, no-ad scoring, and a 10-point match tiebreak in early rounds.
- The champions collected $1 million, five times last year's prize, and a sold-out crowd of 23,000 watched after Errani and Vavassori beat American semifinal opponents Collins and Harrison 4-2, 4-2.
- Andrea Vavassori framed the victory as a mission to highlight doubles players excluded from the event, with Iga Swiatek and Casper Ruud congratulating the Italians after their win.
- Organizers said the experiment appears to have worked and the format may remain at least for the final Grand Slam, while players urged the USTA for better marketing and players council changes to boost doubles' visibility.
