Errani and Vavassori deliver a good blow to the US Open: "We play for the doubles players who can't do it"

It is no secret that the new format of mixed doubles at the US Open 2025 has stirred up a significant controversy. The invitation system, the timing in the schedule (one week before the singles draw begins), and the lack of specialists have generated great debate... and amid this hurricane, it was impossible for Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori not to speak out. They defend their title in New York: they started their journey by easily defeating Fritz and Rybakina, and took the opportunity to leave a small jab at the tournament organization on the court. "There are many great players here, but we usually play together, and we talk off the court, which is very important. We represent and play for doubles players who can't. We will give our best." For now, they have already reached the quarterfinals and are just a couple of rounds away from defending their crown.
