Can Errani pull off the mixed doubles-women’s doubles dual success?
Reigning Roland Garros champions Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini will seek revenge for their Indian Wells loss earlier this year, when they take on Asia Muhammad and Demi Schuurs in the US Open 2025 Quarterfinal. While the No. 7 seeds will receive the relentless backing of the American crowd, the Italians have momentum in their favour. Today, we look to preview this clash and give you the best betting odds – via BetMGM.
Having won the women’s doubles gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini began their rapid rise on tour. They are currently ranked No. 4 in the world, and have won three titles in 2025. Additionally, Errani/Paolini also reached the final in Berlin and the semis in Cincinnati. The 38-year-old is a six-time Grand Slam champion and former No. 1 in doubles. So far, Errani and Paolini have defeated Boisson/Maria, Kessler/Stearns and Stollar/Wu en route to the last eight.

Another veteran doubles duo, Asia Muhammad and Demi Schuurs are currently ranked within the WTA Top-20. While the American has won 13 doubles championships on tour, her Dutch partner has tasted more extensive success with 21 titles. Additionally, they have captured two trophies each in 2025 alone. Seeded 7th at Flushing Meadows, Muhammad/Schuurs cruised past Corley/Corley and Olmos/Siskova in their first two matches. In the Round of 16 against Danilina/Krunic, they had to dig deep to secure a 6-2 4-6 6-4 win.

Asia Muhammad and Demi Schuurs lead the head-to-head against Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini by 1-0. Their solitary face-off took place at the 2025 Indian Wells.

We sense that there could be an upset brewing on Louis Armstrong Stadium. With the conditions offering a level playing field, the experience of Schuurs will play a vital role on Tuesday. Errani and Paolini are monsters in terms of their mental strength; however, Errani’s vulnerabilities on serve and the heavy ball of Muhammad could play a part in the No. 7 seeds knocking off the Olympic gold medalists. With the sell-out crowd setting the stage for an epic, anything is possible.
Prediction: Muhammad/Schuurs in three sets.
Errani and Paolini will start this match as the betting favourites. Meanwhile, Muhammad and Schuurs are the underdogs (as per BetMGM):
