Andrea Vavassori and Sara Errani beat Iga Swiatek and Casper Ruud to win the new US Open mixed doubles final on Wednesday night.

Third seeds Casper Ruud and Iga Świątek have come from behind in the 10-point tiebreaker to be the first team through to the US Open mixed doubles final at Flushing Meadows.

After a rough start to the year, Świątek (+310) is now basically neck and neck odds-wise with Sabalenka (+290), who is, again, the defending US Open champion. If anyone can unseat Sabalenka, it sure feels like Świątek is the most likely to do it.

But Świątek has surged late in the 2025 season. And building off her recent win on the grass courts at Wimbledon, she took home the Cincinnati Open 's Rookwood Cup after she beat Italian, Jasmine Paolini, 7-5, 6-4, on Aug. 18.

The best men and women in the world took each other on at Flushing Meadows on Tuesday. Tennis produces that dynamic like no other sport.

Iga Świątek entered the Cincinnati tournament with a determined mindset, as it was her first time reaching the finals at this event. Achieving victory without dropping a single set throughout the tournament speaks volumes about her skill and preparation.

Świątek, one tournament removed from her stunning Wimbledon title, won the most important U.S. Open tuneup by beating Jasmine Paolini 7-5, 6-4 in the final of the Cincinnati Open. She is back to No. 2 in the rankings. She is within shouting distance of world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka.
