U.S. Open mixed doubles champions Errani and Vavassori call new event ‘profound injustice’

New York Times  

The defending U.S. Open mixed doubles champions, Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori, have slammed the tournament’s new format for 2025, calling it “a profound injustice” and “a pseudo-exhibition.” The United States Tennis Association announced Tuesday that this year’s mixed doubles event will be slimmed down from 32 to 16 pairs, with eight of those decided on players’ singles rankings. We acknowledge that change is difficult, however overall we believe this reimagined Mixed Doubles Championship will elevate mixed doubles with a bigger spotlight and provide a greater opportunity to inspire more people to play and grow the sport.” In an interview with The Athletic Monday, USTA chief executive Lew Sherr had said: “This is not an exhibition. In the interview, Sherr added: “I have no doubt that the other events, not just Grand Slams, but other combined events, should be looking to see how fans react to this event.” GO DEEPER The U.S. Open takes the Grand Slams past the point of no return His and the USTA’s argument is that by making the mixed doubles a standalone event with well-known singles players taking part, the general profile of doubles will benefit. 9 Ellen Perez replied to the U.S. Open on the same platform, saying: “Tell us that you think doubles players are trash, that tradition is overrated and job opportunity is a thing of the past without actually saying it.” Poland’s Jan Zielinski, who won the mixed doubles titles at the Australian Open and Wimbledon last year, said: “No communication with the players, no thought behind what it means to some people’s careers, no respect to the history and traditions.
