Tennis ITF US Open 2025

The organizers must be kicking themselves, that the only true doubles pairing actually won  Their dream of having "big names" win the title for the headlines didn't pan out as expected.

 

But from the full stands you can see, that this whole thing was a success from a commercial standpoint.

 

Also, Ruud manages to lose another GS final, of course not as the same caliber as the singles ones, but still.

I'm so glad that Errani and Vavassori won that bullsh.t and I hope it got cancelled next time, because singles players don't always mean they are great doubles players (from Ukrainian perspective it's Elina Svitolina, who just can't effectively play this event) and seeding was also a flop, because Rybakina is a second seed when she's stiff as rock? Interesting

The seeding was based on combined singles ranking. Pegula & Draper (#4 + #5) were highest seeds, Rybakina & Fritz (#10 + #4) had the second highest combined ranking.

 

And obviously the only true doubles pair actually won it

This tournament will be the first GS without a main draw Bulgarian participation in either men's or women's singles since AO 1996 and without such at the US Open since 1982

I wish it was that surprising, unfortunately Medvedev’s been washed all year long. 
 

I mean his only Grand Slam win was against Samrej, in 5, at Wimbledon which tells you all you need to know 

[Monzanator 4,768]

Yeah, it's a coin toss who's fallen off worse in the last several months, Medvedev or Tsitsipas?

Samrej was the first round of Australian open - Bonzi beat him at Wimbledon in 4 so you could argue that he has improved since then given he somehow managed to drag it to 5 sets
