And then there were four.
A long day of the mixed doubles in the two biggest showcourts of the US Open showed 12 games and a lot of enthusiasm, as fans were filled and cheered with some of the biggest names in the sport with enthusiasm.
After all, defensive champions, Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassor of Italy, sailed to the high-level talent race to join a diverse mix of semifinalists containing three Americans, three Top-10 players and five former Grand Slam.
Jessica Pegula and Jack Draper with high planting, who defeated the Alcaraz-Raducanu pairing in the first round, headed Daniil Medvedev and Mirra Andreeva to reach Four Four and put a collision with IgA Swiatek and Casper Ruud, seeds No.3.
In the bottom half, Danielle Coolins and Christian Harrison, who completed Jannik Sinner and Katerina Siniakova, will face Errani and Vavassor.
The Italian wild cards are playing on purpose, and they are looking forward to prove that high -level double -level players deserve the central scene, even in a competition that is flooded with bachelors. So far, so good.
“We are also playing for them,” Vavassori told his double players who did not qualify in the tours due to the fact that the combined ranking of single people were used to determine the team’s qualification. “I think it’s important to show that double players are great players. I think our main goal in the future will be to change the narrative a bit because single players are amazing in the singles, but the double players are amazing in the doubles.”
The semifinal and final will take place inside the Arthur Ashe Stadium on Wednesday, with the start of a half start at 7am.
