US Open 2025 Mixed Doubles Day 1 results ft. Venus Williams, Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic

The US Open 2025 kicked off its reimagined mixed doubles event with much fanfare on Tuesday, August 19. Some of the biggest names in the sport were in the fray, and after the conclusion of the first round and the quarterfinals, only four teams are left.

The day started with the first round (Round of 16). Naomi Osaka and Gael Monfils proved to be no match for Caty McNally and Lorenzo Musetti, going down 5-3, 4-2. Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek, who won the Cincinnati Open on Monday, had contrasting results.

Alcaraz had joined forces with Emma Raducanu, and the two were soundly beaten 4-2, 4-2 by top seeds Jessica Pegula and Jack Draper. Swiatek, who has partnered Casper Ruud, continued her winning ways. The duo scored an easy 4-1, 4-2 win over the American duo of Madison Keys and Frances Tiafoe.

The Russian pairing of Mirra Andreeva and Daniil Medvedev came out on top against the Serbian duo of Olga Danilovic and Novak Djokovic. Venus Williams has won multiple titles in women's singles and doubles at the US Open during her career, although a mixed doubles title has remained elusive.

Prior to the start of this year's mixed doubles at the US Open, Williams declared her intention to complete the set. However, along with partner Reilly Opelka, the duo were bundled out in the first round by Karolina Muchova and Andrey Rublev.

Defending champions Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori commenced their title defense with a 4-2, 4-2 upset win over second seeds Elena Rybakina and Taylor Fritz. Taylor Townsend and Ben Shelton ousted fourth seeds Amanda Anisimova and Holger Rune in straight sets.

Last-minute alternates Danielle Collins and Christian Harrison beat Belinda Bencic and Alexander Zverev. Following the conclusion of the first round, players were immediately back on court for their quarterfinal matches.
