Errani and Vavassori win US Open mixed doubles title in Young’s final match before retiring

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori won the U.S. Open mixed doubles title with a 7-6, 7-5 victory Thursday over Taylor Townsend and Donald Young, who fell just short of a Grand Slam title in his final match before retiring. Errani, who won a career Grand Slam in women’s doubles with fellow Italian Roberta Vinci, added her first career mixed doubles title to the Olympic gold medal in women’s doubles she won last month with Jasmine Paolini. Young’s parents coached Townsend, who lost in the women’s doubles semifinals with Katerina Siniakova after they won the Wimbledon title. The 28-year-old Townsend said after the match that she hoped fans seeing two Black players in the finals, after Coco Gauff won the women’s title in Flushing Meadows last year and Frances Tiafoe is in the men’s semifinals Friday, would inspire more of them to play.
