Overview

• Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori beat Iga Świątek and Casper Ruud 6:3, 5:7, 10:6 to retain the US Open mixed title and collect a $1 million prize.
• The compact mixed format featured 16 teams over two days with shortened sets and match tiebreaks, with entries split between singles-based qualifications and wildcards.
• Despite a star-heavy field, many singles names exited early, including Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev, underscoring the edge of established doubles pairings.
• The singles draws are set: Alexander Zverev opens against world No. 126 Alejandro Tabilo, with national coach Michael Kohlmann calling Zverev "on a good path" after recent health concerns.
• Novak Djokovic arrives without match play since Wimbledon and starts against 19-year-old Learner Tien, while Nick Kyrgios has withdrawn from the tournament with his place filled by a lucky loser.
