US Open mixed doubles 2025 format
The updated mixed doubles championship will consist of best-of-three-set matches, with short sets of up to four games. If each team claims four games in a set, they’ll then play a tiebreak.
There will be no-ad in games that reach a score of deuce (40-all), meaning that the winner of the next point from that scoreline wins the game.
If the teams split sets, a 10-point match tiebreak will be played instead of a third set. The first team to earn 10 points in the tiebreak, with an advantage of two or more points, will win the match.
The Final will also be a best-of-three-set match, but with sets in this instance maxing out at six games. It will also have no-ad scoring though and will substitute a third set for a 10-point match tiebreak if teams split sets.
Additionally, if teams split games in any given set, they will play a tiebreaker
