Venus Williams Receives a Wild-Card Entry with Reilly Opelka for Mixed Doubles at the U.S. Open

Venus Williams and Reilly Opelka received a wild-card entry to compete in the revamped U.S. Open mixed doubles tournament next month in New York.
The USTA restructured the mixed doubles event to attract top singles players, confirmed 14 of 16 teams Tuesday, and plans to announce the last two wild cards soon.
The mixed doubles tournament will take place during qualifying week on August 19-20 with a short format, including sets to four games, no-ad scoring, and a $1 million top prize.
Williams, 45, returned to the tour last week after a year-long absence, recently winning matches at the D.C. Open, while Opelka, 27, is a former top-20 American serve specialist.
The revised event aims to increase visibility for mixed doubles amid criticism that it prioritizes entertainment over traditional doubles specialists’ inclusion.
