US EditionVenus Williams and Amanda Anisimova Are Among the Players Added to the US Open Mixed Doubles List
NEW YORK, JUL 20 – USTA’s $1 million prize and new schedule aim to attract top singles stars, shifting mixed doubles focus to boost fan interest and elevate tournament prestige, officials said.
- During US Open Fan Week on August 19 and 20 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, the United States Tennis Association relaunched mixed doubles, offering a record $1 million prize in Arthur Ashe Stadium.
- This year’s mixed doubles event features top-ranked singles players, a change organizers say will draw new audiences, after shifting it to the week before the singles competition.
- Among the headline teams, Olga Danilovic is pairing with Novak Djokovic, while Emma Raducanu joins Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Navarro partners with Jannik Sinner.
- Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori labeled the format `pseudo-exhibition focused only on entertainment and show`, while Katerina Siniakova said `When two world number ones in doubles don't get into the tournament, there's probably nothing more to say about it.`
- The top eight teams will gain direct acceptance based on combined singles rankings as of July 28, the remaining eight spots will come via wild cards, and entries close on July 28 at 12:00 ET.
