How Did Errani and Vavassori Dominate Their Path to the Mixed Doubles Title at US Open 2025?
The Italian duo’s experience as a partnership showed throughout their Flushing Meadows campaign. They announced their intentions early by eliminating the second-seeded pair of Taylor Fritz and Elena Rybakina in the round of 16, setting the tone for their title defense.
Errani and Vavassori maintained their momentum in the following rounds, securing victories over Karolína Muchová and Andrey Rublev before dispatching Collins and Harrison in the semifinals. The defending champions remained undefeated in sets until the final, where they faced strong resistance from Świątek and Ruud.
However, their exceptional court chemistry and relentless net play ultimately proved decisive, allowing them to successfully defend their title and claim the $1 million champion’s prize.
This victory holds special meaning for Errani and Vavassori, marking their third Major mixed doubles title. The pair previously triumphed over Taylor Townsend and Donald Young at the 2025 French Open, establishing themselves as the dominant force in mixed doubles tennis.
