British number one Emma Raducanu and Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz are one of several eye-catching pairings planning to play the new-look US Open mixed doubles event.
Fellow Briton Jack Draper is set to feature alongside Chinese world number four Zheng Qinwen, with a host of big names – including Novak Djokovic, Jannik Sinner and Naomi Osaka – also on the entry list.
The US Open mixed doubles will be held as a standalone event on August 19-20 before the hard-court Grand Slam begins on August 24.
Bringing the mixed doubles forward is a bold and revolutionary move by the United States Tennis Association, which said it hoped would attract more high-profile singles players.
