There are still many pending issues to analyze regarding the competition format, but what is clear is that the best remain the best. Defending the trophy, Andrea Vavassori and Sara Errani have not given ground on a very controversial issue with the system change in this US Open 2025.

The Italian duo defeated the pair formed by Casper Ruud and Iga Swiatek in the final, all this just a few minutes after winning their semifinal match. Despite all the obstacles they could have faced, Sara and Andrea confirmed their superiority.

"Tonight has been incredible, the atmosphere was insane. The last match was amazing, the level too. There were many good points, many highlights," Vavassori said in the press conference. "These two days will be very important for the future of doubles, because we have shown that doubles players are great players. This product can grow in the future.

There have been many legends in the past who have played doubles. It will be very important in the future to know that it is a product that can grow. With better marketing, it can become something much bigger."

Did you trust the format when you found out about it?

"No, I didn't believe too much in being able to repeat the victory," confessed Errani. "We were waiting, it was complicated. For me, it was more a no than a yes." Andrea recalled what they had to fight for to receive the organization's invitation: "We wouldn't have played this tournament if we hadn't made that statement. For us, it was important to play. I must say that the initiative was also important because it was really a statement that doubles can become something better."
