Summary
Catherine, David and Matt are back at Tennis Podcast Towers in New York after watching Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori win the “reimagined” Mixed Doubles championship at the US Open.
There’s chat about just how fitting it was for Errani and Vavassori to be champions, how their presence in the draw added to the event for us, and whether the USTA will even want them in the event again.
We also discuss the event more generally, including what the experience was like in Arthur Ashe stadium tonight, what we liked about it, the many aspects which positively defied our expectations, and some amendments we’d make.
Tickets are now on General Sale for The Tennis Podcast - Live in Wrexham on Wednesday October 22nd! Buy here.

| 1:16.6 | Well done tennis. |
| 1:18.1 | All of which is to say that edition number one of the reimagined US Open Mixed Doubles tournament |
| 1:24.5 | is in the books and Sarah Irani and Andrea Vavasori have executed |
| 1:33.0 | their plan to poop all over the USDA's glitzy star-studded party to chilling perfection. |
| 1:42.7 | They defended the mixed doubles title they won 50 weeks ago in rather |

| 1:54.9 | Yes, you can. Yes. Yes, you can. Although, you know, it's not the same, is it? Listen, I'm not going to get into all that again. |
| 2:04.3 | I mean, that's literally what we're here for to get into all of that. But I do love it. I mean, look, the thing is, I really enjoyed this whole thing. I really did. And I've got lots and lots of good things to say about it. |
