Raducanu, Alcaraz Among Star Pairings for Revamped US Open Mixed Doubles

Posted : 17 June 2025

British tennis star Emma Raducanu and reigning Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz are among the standout names expected to participate in the newly restructured US Open mixed doubles event.

 

The pair are part of a high-profile list of entries revealed by the United States Tennis Association (USTA), which also includes other prominent players such as Novak Djokovic, Jannik Sinner, Naomi Osaka, and British number two Jack Draper, who is set to partner with China’s world number four Zheng Qinwen.

 

In a major change to the tournament format, the US Open mixed doubles will now be held as a standalone event on 19–20 August, ahead of the start of the main Grand Slam competition on 24 August.

 

 The USTA hopes that this early scheduling will encourage greater participation from top-ranked singles players and add excitement to the lead-up to the US Open. The announcement of the 16 initial pairings reflects strong interest, although final participation will only be confirmed by the 28 July entry deadline.

 

This experimental shift marks a bold strategy by the USTA to elevate the status of mixed doubles, a format that often struggles to draw star names during Grand Slam events. By creating a dedicated spotlight for the discipline before the tournament's traditional start, organizers aim to foster greater fan engagement and showcase a unique blend of men’s and women’s talent. If successful, it could set a precedent for other majors to follow.
