US Open: Defending Champs Errani-Vavassori Defeat Rybakina-Fritz In Mixed Doubles
Reigning US Open: Reigning US Open mixed doubles champions Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori picked up right where they left off, defeating the high-profile pairing of Elena Rybakina and Taylor Fritz 4-2, 4-2 in one of the first matches of the revamped mixed doubles event.
Facing the newly-introduced fast format — featuring first-to-four-game sets, no-ad scoring, and a 10-point match tiebreak in lieu of a third set — the Italian duo handled the pressure with ease. The 2025 Roland Garros champions showcased their chemistry and experience from the start, quickly taking the first set 4-2 against Fritz and Rybakina, the No. 10 seed in women’s singles.
While the second set featured longer rallies and more tactical exchanges, it was Errani and Vavassori’s dominance at the net and seamless court coverage that proved decisive. Despite flashes of brilliance from Rybakina’s baseline power and Fritz’s booming serve, the duo couldn’t consistently break through the Italians' fluid teamwork.
