The US Open will crown its first champions of the Grand Slam tennis tournament on Wednesday, Aug. 20.
The semifinals and finals of the reimagined mixed doubles competition will be held under the lights in Arthur Ashe Stadium, giving the fans in New York their first taste of prime time tennis this year.
Mixed doubles began Tuesday, Aug. 19 with a full day of first-round and quarterfinal matches, and the compact event concludes quickly, giving players plenty of time to prepare for singles play, which begins on Sunday, Aug. 24.
Because mixed doubles was moved nearly a full week before singles action gets underway at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, the event was able to attract many of the sport’s top stars, including a number of Americans.
The mixed doubles semifinals feature one of the top American players in Jessica Pegula, who reached the US Open singles final last year. Pegula is teaming up with Great Britain’s Jack Draper, the No. 5-ranked player in the world on the ATP Tour, and the pair earned the No. 1 seed in the mixed doubles competition.
Five-time Grand Slam singles champion Iga Swiatek, who took the women’s singles crown at the US Open in 2022, will also be in action with partner Casper Ruud. The No. 3-seeded team faces Pegula and Draper in one semifinal.
The other semifinal features an all-American pair against an Italian duo, with Danielle Collins and Christian Harrison of the U.S. taking on Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori.
The semifinal winners will then face off later Wednesday night for the championship.
USA TODAY Sports will have full coverage of the 2025 US Open mixed doubles semifinals and final. Here is everything you need to know before the action starts.
Sara Errani/Andrea Vavassori def. Iga Swiatek/Casper Ruud to win title
Italy’s Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori won the US Open mixed doubles title for the second year in a row, holding off Iga Swiatek and Casper Ruud in the finals 6-3, 5-7, 10-6 Wednesday, Aug. 20 at New York’s Arthur Ashe Stadium.
The 6-foot-4 Vavassori was spectacular at the net and overpowering with his serve. And his 38-year-old partner, Errani, also was masterful during their two-day run through the 16-team field.
The Italians collected $1 million by winning the championship.
Sara Errani/Andrea Vavassori def. Danielle Collins/Christian Harrison
Italy’s Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori gave themselves a chance to defend their title as US Open mixed doubles champs. They did it by powering past Americans Christian Harrison and Danielle Collins 4-2, 4-2 in the semifinals. The Italians did not lose a single point during their service games in the first set, and Vavassori’s serves were especially wicked. The Americans broke Errani’s service to knot the second set at 2-2, but the Italians promptly won the next two games and closed out the match.
Iga Swiatek/Casper Ruud def. Jessica Pegula/Jack Draper
Clutch play propelled Iga Swiatek and Casper Ruud past Jessica Pegula and Jack Draper in the semifinals (3-5, 5-3, 10-8). Down a set, Swiatek and Ruud rallied and won the second set, forcing a 10-point tiebreak. Swiatek, the reigning Wimbledon champion, and Ruud began to unravel, going down 8-4 after Swiatek’s double fault. But with the match hanging in the balance, Swiatek and Ruud were clutch again, reeling off six straight points for the victory.

Each match (other than the final) are best-of-three sets, and each set is first team to win four games. Unlike singles matches, there will be no-ad in games that reach a score of deuce (40-all), meaning that the winner of the next point wins the game. If each team has won four games in a set, a tiebreak will be played.
If the teams split sets, a 10-point match tiebreak will be played in lieu of a third set. The first team to win 10 points, with an advantage of two or more points, will win the match.
In the final, the first team to win six games wins the set, and the first team to win two sets wins the championship. If the teams split sets, a 10-point match tiebreak will be played in lieu of a third set.
