Mirra Andreeva US Open mixed doubles performance

Overview

Mirra Andreeva entered the US Open season leading the WTA Race with 4,999 points, ahead of Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina. During the US Open, Andreeva competed in the mixed doubles tournament alongside Andrey Rublev. The pair reached the semifinals after defeating defending champions Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori in a tie-break. Following the match, Andreeva described the partnership as a ‘dream come true’ and noted she ‘used to have a little crush’ on Rublev.

In the semifinals, Andreeva and Rublev faced the Czech duo Karolina Muchova and Jakub Mensik. Muchova and Mensik staged a comeback to win the match 5-4 (6), 3-5, [11-9], saving two match points to advance.

Muchova and Mensik went on to secure the US Open mixed doubles title, earning a $1 million prize. In the final held at Arthur Ashe Stadium, the Czech pair defeated Belinda Bencic and Flavio Cobolli with a score of 6-3, 1-6, 10-6 in a deciding match tiebreak. Mensik secured the victory with a powerful 211 km/h ace. This win marked the first Grand Slam title for both Muchova and Mensik, who entered the tournament via wild cards. Muchova, 30, and Mensik, 20, noted that their coordinated outfits added a bit of fun to their unexpected success.

The mixed doubles event was part of a new US Open format, which involves playing the event in the week preceding the main singles draw to attract high-profile singles players. While several high-profile pairings, including Novak Djokovic, Aryna Sabalenka, Serena Williams, and Carlos Alcaraz, were eliminated early, the event drew significant attention to the mixed doubles discipline.
