Paris Olympics gold medalists take center stage on Louis Armstrong Stadium.
No. 2 seeds Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini are set to face off against the veteran duo of Gabriela Dabrowski and Erin Routliffe in the semi-final of the 2025 US Open. Despite the differences in terms of ranking, there is very little to separate the sides. While the Italians bring the tenacity and grit, Dabrowski and Routliffe possess immaculate coordination and touch. Can the Olympic gold medalists advance to another Grand Slam final? Let’s find out, using BetMGM and its great odds.
Since winning the gold medal at the Paris Olympics 2024, Errani and Paolini have been nothing short of an unstoppable force. With each passing tournament, the World No. 4 duo is seems to be improving their level. Having already won 3 trophies in 2025, their wins over the likes of Kessler/Stearns and Muhammad/Schuurs are supremely reassuring. Errani and Paolini are the current Roland Garros champions, and the potential to grab a maiden hard court major as a pair looms large.
No. 3 seeds Dabrowski and Routliffe had to overcome a first set bagel against Babos/Stefani, before advancing to the final four in three hard-fought sets. Barring this, it has been relatively smooth sailing for the Canadian-Kiwi duo. With two trophies each this year, Dabrowski and Routliffe have moulded a system where both players know the task at hand in order to succeed. Having won the US Open back in 2023, they have the recipe for ultimate success.
Dabrowski/Routliffe lead Errani/Paolini 1-0 in the head-to-head after their most recent match-up, at Riyadh in 2024.
| Year | Event | Round | Winner | Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | Riyadh | Round of 32 | Dabrowski/Routliffe | 1-6, 7-6(1), 11-9 |
| Errani/Paolini | Category | Dabrowski/Routliffe |
|---|---|---|
| 4 / 4 | Current Doubles Ranking | 8 / 7 |
| 447-248 / 109-80 | Current Doubles W/L | 483-320 / 309-189 |
| 27-9 / 27-9 | YTD Doubles W/L | 23-11 / 32-15 |
| 3 / 3 | YTD Titles | 2 / 2 |
| 35 / 9 | Career Titles | 19 / 11 |
The semifinal fixture between these two quality pairs is hard to dissect. In theory, both combinations have played scintillating tennis to get here and more or less nullify each other’s strengths. But when it comes to experience on the big stage, the Italians have a slight edge in comparison with the No. 3 seeds. The 2025 campaign has well and truly belonged yo them, and we sense that they could even the head-to-head in New York.
Prediction: Errani/Paolini in straight sets.
According to the pre-match betting market, either pairing could advance to the US Open 2025 final. The odds have been evenly split, as per the the accurate odds from BetMGM.
