A New Era for Mixed Doubles at the U.S. Open!

Get ready for a sensational showdown! The 2025 U.S. Open is shaking things up with a revamped mixed doubles championship, boasting an extraordinary lineup of celebrity pairs that will leave tennis fans buzzing.

Star Players Unite for a $1 Million Prize

The competition kicks off on August 19, and it's not just the prestige at stake—there's a staggering $1 million reward for the lucky champions. Expect to see tennis heavyweights like Novak Djokovic teaming up with fellow Serbian star Olga Danilovic, and the dynamic duo of recent French Open victor Carlos Alcaraz and 2021 U.S. Open champ Emma Raducanu. Add in Naomi Osaka, a two-time U.S. Open winner, alongside the flamboyant Nick Kyrgios, and you’ve got a recipe for an unforgettable tournament!

Top Players Competing for Glory

This year's mixed doubles tournament showcases nine of the world’s top ten players in both men’s and women’s singles. However, one noticeable absence is the talented Coco Gauff, the latest French Open champion. But don’t worry—players have until July 28 to secure their spots!

A Modern Twist on a Classic Event

In a bid to breathe new life into the mixed doubles format, U.S. Open organizers have adjusted the schedule, moving the matches to the first week of the tournament for a more seamless experience. The top eight pairs will automatically qualify based on their combined singles rankings, while eight more will earn spots via wild cards.

A Vision for Excitement and Engagement

According to reports from Dan Wolken of USA Today, this exciting revamp aims to rekindle interest in mixed doubles—a format that had waned in popularity. Outgoing USTA executive director Lew Sherr expressed immense enthusiasm for the project, stating, "We wanted to showcase the world’s best competing together and against each other. The incredible response from the players shows that we are on the right track, and we are confident the fans will love it!"
