US Open mixed doubles tournament, featuring top players like Iga Swiatek, Casper Ruud, and Jack Draper. Find out who made it to the semifinals and what's next.

“I was happy to team up with Iga. She's on the winning train these days so I'm just jumping on the train...”



Iga Swiatek and Casper Ruud are on a roll, cruising into the US Open mixed doubles semifinals. After a grueling two-hour match against Jasmine Paolini in the Cincinnati Open on Monday, Swiatek seemed unfazed, bringing her A-game to the mixed doubles court. Partnering with Ruud, she showcased impressive energy and skill.




Their Quarterfinal Match Results:
  • Round 1: Swiatek and Ruud dominated the US pairing of Madison Keys and Frances Tiafoe, winning 4-1, 4-2 in just 39 minutes.
  • Quarterfinals: They then defeated Caty McNally and Lorenzo Musetti 5-3, 4-2, approximately 20 minutes after their first match.


Ruud praised Swiatek's determination, highlighting her remarkable work ethic despite playing a final just a day before. The duo's chemistry on court is undeniable, and they're set to face Jack Draper and Jessica Pegula in the semifinals.




Iga Swiatek's whirlwind journey from Cincinnati to New York was nothing short of extraordinary. After claiming her 24th career title with a 7-5, 6-4 win over Jasmine Paolini on Monday, Swiatek rushed to the airport, barely finding time to savor her victory. She arrived at her New York hotel in the early hours of Tuesday, just in time to prepare for the US Open's mixed doubles event.


Swiatek's Thoughts on Her Demanding Schedule

Swiatek described her last two days as feeling like “one day,” but expressed her happiness to be participating in the tournament. She humorously noted that her tight turnaround had ironically helped her unwind after her exertions in Cincinnati. The grueling schedule didn't seem to affect her performance, as she and partner Casper Ruud cruised into the semifinals, defeating Madison Keys and Frances Tiafoe, and Caty McNally and Lorenzo Musetti in straight sets.

What's Next for Swiatek and Ruud?

Swiatek and Ruud's next challenge will be against Jack Draper and Jessica Pegula in the semifinals, scheduled for August 21. Despite the demanding schedule, Swiatek's determination and Ruud's admiration for her work ethic have been key to their success so far.


“Honestly I think actually it's kind of nice for the recovery,” Swiatek said. “To have another task and to not let yourself be lazy but also focused on the next exciting thing.”

Ruud expressed his enthusiasm about teaming up with Swiatek, saying, “I was happy to team up with Iga. She's on the winning train these days so I'm just jumping on the train and let's see if we can win some more before the mixed doubles is over.” This lighthearted approach highlights their growing chemistry on the court.


“I think everyone should show some appreciation to Iga today. She only got to her hotel 12 hours ago at 2.30am, and she's here playing,” Ruud.
