Who won the 2025 US Open Mixed Doubles Championships?
Doubles specialists and all-Italian duo Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori were crowned mixed doubles champions in New York last year after beating Swiatek and Ruud 6-3, 5-7, 10-6 in the final.
What is the format of the US Open Mixed Doubles Championships?
Matches will be played in a best-of-three-set format, with shortened sets played to four games. Deuce games will be played using no-ad scoring, meaning that the winner of the next point wins the game.
If the score reaches 4-4 in a set, a 10-point tie-break will be played to determine the winner of the set. The first team to reach 10 points, with a margin of at least two points, will win the tie-break.
The final will be played as a best-of-three-set match with full six-game sets. No-ad scoring will remain in place and if the teams are level at one set each, a 10-point match tie-break will be played instead of a deciding third set.
What is the prize money for the US Open Mixed Doubles Championships?
The official prize money for the 2026 US Open will be announced soon.
Last year saw the tournament increase its total prize pool to a record $90 million, with the mixed doubles champions being awarded $1 million per team for the first time in history.
