Raducanu and Alcaraz Form Star Duo in New US Open Mixed Doubles
The US Open launches a new and already controversial mixed doubles event, staged on the biggest courts in New York. Among the headline pairings are Britain’s Emma Raducanu and Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz, who will compete side by side across two action-packed days. Their opening test will be against top seeds Jack Draper and Jessica Pegula, setting the stage for a thrilling round-of-16 showdown.
Sinner Likely to Withdraw After Illness Before Singles Campaign
World No.1 Jannik Sinner is doubtful for the mixed doubles after pulling out of the Cincinnati Open final due to illness while trailing 0-5 to Alcaraz. With his main focus on recovering for the singles competition, he is expected to withdraw from the mixed doubles later today. His absence could shift more attention to Raducanu and Alcaraz as they chase the $1 million prize on offer for the champions.
