"This one is for all the doubles players who couldn’t play this tournament" - Sara Errani after defending her US Open mixed doubles crown
Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori successfully defended their mixed doubles crown at the US Open this year. The Italians were among the few doubles specialists who participated in the competition.
Errani and Vavassori walked away with $1 million (£740,000), which was meant to tempt top players like Iga Swiatek, Carlos Alcaraz, and Novak Djokovic on tour. They earned five times more than the $200,000 (£148,000) they won last year.
Here's what Errani said after winning the mixed doubles title:
“I think this one is for all the doubles players who couldn’t play this tournament. I think this one is also for them."
Vavassori also urged organisers to market the competition better and thanked them for the incredible atmosphere in New York:
“We showed today that doubles is a great product. I think in the future we need more marketing and visibility. I think this product is something that can also work in the future. It was amazing to play on this court with so many people. I have to say thanks from the bottom of my heart for the atmosphere."
Both players will be expected to compete in their respective doubles competitions next week. The US Open main draw action will begin on August 24, 2025.
