Gustavo Fernández wins US Open 2025 wheelchair doubles title | OneFootball

Gustavo Fernández achieved a historic feat in the United States by winning the doubles title at the 2025 US Open for adaptive tennis, in doubles with the Japanese player Tokito Oda. In the final, they defeated the top favorites, the British Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid, with sets of 6-1, 2-6, and 10-6.

The Cordoba native already knew what it meant to be a champion of other major tournaments, but he had never been able to celebrate in New York. With this victory, he added to his personal museum the fourth doubles trophy in Grand Slam, after those achieved in Wimbledon (2015 and 2022) and Roland Garros (2019).

In the review of his career, Lobito now has nine victories of this caliber, also considering the five achieved in singles: two in Australia (2017 and 2019), two in Roland Garros (2016 and 2019) and one in Wimbledon (2019). He had reached the US Open final in 2014, but had not been able to win.

The duo with the Japanese player had an unusual feature: while they shared a celebration in doubles, this Saturday they will face each other in the definition of the individual draw. From 12, on court 11, Oda –the first seed– will face Fernández, the fourth favorite, who comes from eliminating Hewett.

In parallel, Argentine tennis will also have another chance to celebrate. Horacio Zeballos, along with the Spaniard Marcel Granollers, will play the traditional doubles final. The well-oiled pair will go for the title against the British Neal Skupski and Joe Salisbury, the sixth seeds.
