Italian tennis stars Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori made history Thursday with a nail-biting 7-6(0), 7-5 victory over unseeded Americans Taylor Townsend and Donald Young at the US Open! The dynamic duo clinched their first Grand Slam mixed doubles title after teaming up for just three major tournaments, proving teamwork makes the dream work.
\"It’s a dream come true,\" said Vavassori, who grew up idolizing his now-partner Errani. \"Playing with Sara feels like winning the lottery!\" The third-seeded pair dominated the tiebreaker and held their nerve during a tense second set, breaking serve in the final game to seal the win.
For Young, who announced his retirement from tennis to pursue pickleball , the loss marked an emotional end to a 20-year partnership with childhood friend Townsend. \"Taylor’s like family – from Monopoly battles to US Open finals, this journey’s been wild,\" he said, praising their opponents’ \"legendary performance.\"
While Townsend fell short of a doubles double (she reached the women’s semis too!), her Wimbledon women’s doubles title this summer proves she’s still a force to watch. As the New York crowd cheered, one thing became clear: this match wasn’t just about trophies – it was a celebration of friendship, grit, and spectacular drop shots.
