US Open mixed doubles champions Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori insist they are playing for “doubles players” as they reached the semi-finals of the new-look event on Tuesday.
Back in February, when the controversial 16-team event in New York was announced, with the intention of luring top singles players to compete with a new time slot and a $1m winners' purse, the 2024 winners described the change as a “profound injustice” in a joint statement.
