Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori knocked out a field of singles stars to defend their mixed doubles title at the 2025 US Open, edging past the upstart team of Iga Swiatek and Casper Ruud, 6-3, 5-7 10-6 in a dramatic final on Arthur Ashe Stadium.

The event sparked controversy because it excluded traditional doubles teams - except for Errani and Vavassori - at the expense of big-name singles players. The star-studded field included world No. 2 Iga Swiatek and three-time Grand Slam singles finalist Casper Ruud, who lost in the final to the Italians, 6-3, 5-7, 10-6.
