Overview
- Karolina Muchova and Jakub Mensik defeated Belinda Bencic and Flavio Cobolli 6-3, 1-6, 10-6 to win the US Open mixed doubles final with Mensik landing the decisive ace in the 10-point super tie-break.
- Muchova and Mensik reached the final after a semifinal in which they saved two match points against Mirra Andreeva and Andrey Rublev and prevailed 11-9 in the deciding tie-break.
- Cobolli and Bencic reached the title match after upsetting the high-profile team of Carlos Alcaraz and Serena Williams in the quarterfinals on Wednesday and then beating Elina Svitolina and Gael Monfils in the semifinals.
- Tournament organizers ran a revamped mixed-doubles format of shorter sets and a concentrated schedule before singles play, a change that increased the number of super tie-break deciders and made results more volatile.
- The title is the first Grand Slam crown for both Muchova and Mensik and it may strengthen the case for keeping the condensed format if organizers want to keep attracting top singles players without disrupting their singles schedules.
