Italian pair of Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori secured the mixed doubles title at the US Open on Thursday. They defeated the unseeded American duo of Taylor Townsend and Donald Young in a closely contested match, with a scoreline of 7-6, 7-5, bringing an end to the Americans' remarkable journey in the tournament.
For Errani, a five-time Grand Slam champion in women's doubles, and Vavassori, this triumph marked their first Grand Slam title together in the mixed doubles category. The US Open was only their third major tournament as a pair, following their appearances at Wimbledon and the Paris Olympics.
