Iga Swiatek/Casper Ruud vs Jessica Pegula/Jack Draper prediction, betting tips & odds, head-to-head, preview: US Open 2025 Mixed Doubles

Iga Swiatek played three matches in 24 hours and advanced to the final four alongside Ruud.

The US Open 2025 Mixed Doubles extravaganza lived up to its billing, providing tennis fans with plenty of drama, action, and entertainment. It was also a reality check for all top-seeded singles players, who realised the complexity of mixed doubles.

Most of the ATP and WTA seeds suffered early exits, with the popular doubles stars qualifying for the semi-finals. However, this section of the draw will involve four singles players taking on each other.

Iga Swiatek has had an incredible past few hours, as she defeated Elena Rybakina and Jasmine Paolini in consecutive days to lift her maiden Cincinnati title.

The Pole shortly afterwards boarded the flight to New York and hit the ground running alongside Casper Ruud. The Norwegian has been by far the best player on court, taking the aggressive route, which has paid off so far.

They crushed the all-American pairing of Madison Keys and Francis Tiafoe in the opening round. Then they defeated Caty McNally and Lorenzo Musetti in the quarter-finals.

Preview

The late team formation of Jessica Pegula and Jack Draper has stolen the spotlight at the 2025 mixed doubles event. The duo played party spoilers to Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz‘s debut, knocking them out of the championship in the very first round.

Draper has been very impressive for a player with limited doubles experience, and coming off a lengthy absence from tennis.

Pegula has been composed, with her clean ball-striking and experience in this format, having ranked #1 in doubles back in 2023. The pair were at their clinical best against the Russian duo of Mirra Andreeva and Daniil Medvedev, securing their place in the semi-final.

Match prediction

A fascinating contest awaits fans, as one of these two singles pairings will soon be fighting for a Grand Slam trophy. While Ruud will look to dominate his serving games and take control of the match, Draper will aim to utilize his tall height and cover the net.

In mixed doubles, the outcome often hinges on the performance of the female player. Both Swiatek and Pegula used to play doubles in the past, and have been good on the first day.

The American was serving well, but the rapid footwork and court coverage skills that the Polish star possesses are ideal traits required for any doubles pairing.

The 2025 mixed doubles event has yet to see a match pushed into a deciding 10-point tiebreak, and this upcoming clash promises to deliver plenty of drama and high-octane action.

Result: Iga Swiatek/Casper Ruud will win in three sets.
