Italians Andrea Vavassori and Sara Errani won the U.S. Open's reimagined mixed doubles event Wednesday night, withholding WTA world No. 2 Iga Świątek and ATP world No. 12 Casper Ruud in a 10-point tiebreak for the third set and the match.
The U.S. Open shortened both the draw and matches this year to allow men's and women's singles stars to compete before those draws kick off Sunday. That didn't change the result, however, as Vavassori and Errani won the U.S. Open's longer mixed doubles event last year.
