The two had vehemently opposed the reimagined format for the mixed doubles event for prioritizing singles stars over double players. When it was first announced, Errani and Vavassori called it a <em>&ldquo;profound injustice,&rdquo;<\/em> and have now come up with bigger statements after successfully defending their titles in the 2025 Mixed Doubles Championship.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sara Errani And Andrea Vavassori Win It All for Doubles Players<\/strong><\/h2><p>On August 20, Errani and Vavassori defeated Iga Swiatek and Casper Ruud in a thrilling final on Arthur Ashe Stadium. The 6-3, 5-7 scoreline was polished off by an amazing 10-point tiebreaker (10-6). Certainly, it gave this polarizing edition of the US Open mixed doubles event a memorable end. However, Errani and Vavassori were fighting for more than just a Grand Slam. Their post-match comments show that the Italians were here to prove the importance of doubles players to the world.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Italians Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori take home the Mixed Doubles trophy &#128293;&#127470;&#127481;<br><br>&#8627; US Open Mixed Doubles.

The shortened 16-team tournament had made it difficult for most doubles players to enter. On top of that, the top seeds being given to big stars had also limited their chances. However, after this win, Vavassori took a moment to explain why he wishes the doubles game got more attention.<\/p><p><em>&ldquo;We showed today that doubles is a great product.

Tennis has long had a doubles problem &ndash; lower prize money, media coverage, and overall lack of fan interest. The US Open organizers noticed how the team-ups of big singles stars used to get more attention, and it naturally went on an overdrive this year. Instead of having the event run parallel with other events, they shifted the mixed doubles to the Fan Week.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Iga Swiatek to Casper Ruud after their loss in the mixed doubles US Open final <br><br>&ldquo;I want to thank the tournament for the opportunity for us to play when we could.

Although the move certainly attracted top stars, it led to doubles specialists being ignored. As most noted, while the singles stars looked to have fun at the &ldquo;exhibition&rdquo;, it was a big blow to players who spent months and years working for this Grand Slam. The fact that it generated a whole lot of buzz, and culminated with a doubles pairing capturing the crown, was fitting.<\/p><p>While the future of this event is still up in the air, one hopes that this win leads to more doubles players being able to participate in future events. <\/p><p><em>Mandatory Credit: Mike Frey-Imagn Images<\/em><\/p><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the onset of the tournament, Sara Errani and her partner Andrea Vavassori were seemingly going to have the final say at the 2025 US Open.

Prior to the Playoffs, I\\'ve worked in EssentiallySports and Pro Football and Sports Network.\u00a0\u00a0 My only goal is the cover the sport not just from the lens of a journalist but also a fan. Perhaps that\\'s why I love indulging in some fun banter and always try to inculcate a debate through my work. That\\'s why I encourage the readers to express their views freely - after all, that\\'s what makes sports fun.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/sanskardubey\/","https:\/\/x.com\/sanskardubey_"],"url":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/author\/sanskardubey\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/622999"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/48"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=622999"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/622999\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":623064,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/622999\/revisions\/623064"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/623006"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=622999"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=622999"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=622999"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
