Iga Swiatek and Casper Ruud secured a tight 3-5, 5-3, [10-8] victory over Jessica Pegula and Jack Draper to advance to the final of the US Open mixed doubles.

The much-talked-about pairing of Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz fell to an early exit in the US Open’s mixed doubles competition on Tuesday, losing their first-round match and failing to win a set.

With Iga Swiatek by his side in the 2025 US Open mixed doubles, Casper Ruud etched his name into ATP history. The Norwegian is now the only active male player to reach the quarterfinals of singles, doubles, and mixed doubles at a Grand Slam event.

Casper Ruud recently joined the ongoing debate about the greatest athletes of all time, asserting that his choice would surpass the legendary achievements of both Tom Brady and LeBron James.

Swiatek then explained: "That's not possible because when your agent asked my agent, I think, or you asked me, I had no idea what I'm signing up for. I was like, 'Yeah okay, I want to play with Casper.' But I didn't know what the tournament is going to look like so it must've been you."

Iga Swiatek and Casper Ruud took pride in their unity, being 'Rafa's kids,' as they showcased powerful performances in the mixed doubles at the 2025 US Open.

The U.S. Open’s largest court was packed for the final three matches of the reimagined mixed doubles tournament Wednesday night, which was made up of mainly top singles players for the first time.
