Bencic and Cobolli Stun Top Seeds | Fayetteville News

Belinda Bencic and Flavio Cobolli are storming toward the U.S. Open mixed doubles title after a jaw-dropping comeback win over Elina Svitolina and Gael Monfils — who teamed up for the first time in a wild card match, and whose victory would’ve marked Monfils’ final Grand Slam appearance. Down a set, they rallied with fire, winning the final eleven points to force a tiebreaker, then seized control when Svitolina missed three straight shots. Their path to the final also included a shocking quarterfinal upset of Serena Williams and Carlos Alcaraz. With a $1 million prize on the line and a new tournament format designed to lure top singles stars, Bencic and Cobolli are playing with fearless grit — and they’re not done yet.
