The biggest stance is on the court below.

Inspired the Italians Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori Defeat all participants and beat the third seed 6-3, 5-7, 10-6 to score the drama Iga Swiatek and Casper Ruud Successfully defended their American mixed doubles title on Wednesday night.

It’s more than just a superb hybrid defense, it’s an announcement of the Italian couple’s doubles power, whose mission is to showcase the newly recovered territory with singles stars.

“I think tonight is great. The atmosphere is crazy,” Vavassori said. “The last game was also incredible. I think there are a lot of benefits, so many highlights.

“I think these two days are really important for future doubles because we show that doubles players are great players. I think the product will grow in the future.

“There were a lot of legends playing doubles in the past. I’m talking to it [former singles and doubles No. 1] John McEnroe is in the locker room. He said to me, to him, come to me and say, you are doing some good things for doubles. So, I think it will be very important to know in the future that this is a product that can grow. ”

Champions’ checks have also increased.

The Italian couple won $1 million in the U.S. Open doubles record Wednesday night as they won the 2024 2024 title with $200,000, in 2024, in 2024, in 2024, in 2024, in 2024, in 2024, in 2024, in 2024, in 2024, in 2024, in 2024, in 2024, in 2024, in 2024, in 2024, in 2024, in 2024, in 2024.

Errani, who ruled the Olympic gold medal doubles title with Jasmine Paolini, said a record payday was even more important for doubles players.

“I think, like this year, like taking a job out of doubles, I mean, everyone is working on the money. I think that’s important for other doubles players, too,” Errani said.

While money is a driving force, the two also proved that the subtle skills required for doubles (in consistency, chemistry, communication, poaching, poaching, skills and angles) are sometimes even underestimated by single stars and some fans, even if the entertainment activities of a certain age are more than entertainment players in the United States than singles for singles

“I think it’s very important for us to show up in a doubles game to know how to play doubles. Not only does it work well in a doubles, it’s great, it returns well,” Errani said. “There are many other things that aren’t easy. I think the tag team players will improve a lot of things that can be seen, and many other things are not just batting.

“We show you have to think and stay smart. There’s more to do with doubles. There’s other things in singles, and there’s other things in doubles. We show that we know we’re doing well in doubles, and there’s something else to do with the game.”

Rud said Errani’s skills set the active Vavassori to bring big problems for singles stars.

“Just because Andrea moves well on the web. Singles players don’t consider someone’s 70 miles per hour time crossing,” Rude said. “It’s like the fear of us traveling through time. We’re not used to it. We’re not used to it. We’re not used to it ourselves.”

“The most frustrating thing is that you feel like you’re rewarding for a good fight, he’s there, he pulls the volley. You walk everything in your mind, don’t hit his place, don’t hit his place. He covers up a lot in the middle, and suddenly he chooses one side.”

Credit Swiatek and Ruud never had a partner as they also participated in the finals. 2022 US Open Singles Champion Swiatek and 2022 US Open Singles Finalist Ruud emerged from a set of matches and beat 4-8 in the decisive decisive game, defeating top-seeded Jessica Pegula and Jack Draper 3-5, 5-5, 5-3, 10-8 to take on an exciting return. In that semifinal, Pegula had better volleyball than Draper.

Rude said the involvement of both players and fans – the new format was successful.

“It’s really fun,” Rude said. “It’s an honor to share the court with IGA and other players, and it’s very fun. It’s the first time they’ve done that. I know that this has a lot of reactions, and some have done it boldly.

“You can’t say that this isn’t great for fans because you have the full Arthur Ashe on Wednesday midnight on Quallie Week. Do you get it once often? It’s really fun to see the crowds coming in. It really cheers us up. Even though we fell down 6-3, 5-4 on 6-3, 5-4, they’re still alive like them, we’re still living the second time.

The lesson of this new review of our open mixed doubles is that when both, doubles themselves are feasible and can be sold. Vavassori advocates expanding the game to 32 teams, including top doubles players.

“Maybe you can also put a narrative about singles vs doubles. Today, the top of the game is two doubles players, two singles players at the top of the game,” Vavassori said. “It’s also a good showdown for the crowd. But yes, maybe there’s a round left.

“The initiative is very good. It’s not what we expected to see a stadium full of mixed doubles. We have to praise the game to create something that is really worth it. But we can do something that is about to adjust something in the future, and if something can be adjusted in the future, maybe we continue to do something like that.

“Maybe sure the chance is to offer other dude players who deserve it. Arevalo is number one in the world and has no chance to play. Siniakova has won so many Grand Slams. As I said, I think I’m talking about a lot of positive stuff, some negatives, but we can work hard in the future.”
