The Swiss and the German did not really have a voice in this duel which lasted only 42 minutes, time for the US duo to win 4-0 5-3. Danielle Collins and Christian Harrison replaced the Pair Jannik Sinner/Katerina Siniakova after the Italian package, which abandoned Monday in the Masters 1000 in Cincinnati in front of her Spanish rival Carlos Alcaraz.
Traditionally organized in parallel with single female and male tournaments, the US Open mixed doubles tournament has been advanced at qualifying week and considerably shortened this year. The event is competed for only two days and in four laps, the winner pair sharing a juicy check of a million dollars.
A criticized tournament
An evolution that has aroused criticism among specialists in exercise, such as the Italian Sara Errani. “Why did we exclude double players?” Asked the title holder in May at Roland-Garros.
“These are the specialists in the exercise! It is a bit like in the height jumping competition of the Olympic Games, we excluded the jumpers and that they were replaced by basketball players,” was surprised Errani, who despite everything obtained with his partner of double mixed Andrea Vavassori the right to defend their title at the US Open.
The two Italians have also won their first two games and have already qualified for the semi-finals, as is the pair made up of Iga Swiatek and Casper Ruud. The final is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday in New York on Wednesday (Thursday 01:00 in Switzerland).
