Overview

• Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori beat Iga Swiatek and Casper Ruud 6-3, 5-7, 10-6 to win the mixed doubles, defending their 2024 title.
• They played four matches in two days with the semifinal and final staged back‑to‑back on Arthur Ashe Stadium, which drew unusually large crowds for mixed doubles.
• Organizers cut the draw from 32 to 16 teams, used singles rankings and wild cards for entry, and shortened early rounds with four‑game sets and no‑ad scoring.
• The winners split a record $1 million purse, up from $200,000 last year, as part of the tournament’s push to boost visibility for the discipline.
• Errani and Vavassori entered via wild card as the lone specialist pairing and had criticized the new selection model, while elsewhere the singles draw set Jannik Sinner to face Vit Kopriva after he resumed training in New York with his No. 1 ranking at risk from Carlos Alcaraz.
