NEW YORK (AP) 鈥� Imagine Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu competing together for a Grand Slam trophy. How about Madison Keys and Frances Tiafoe as a duo? Iga Swiatek alongside Casper Ruud? Or Naomi Osaka with Nick Kyrgios?
Those are among the high-wattage pairs on Tuesday鈥檚 preliminary entry list for the reimagined U.S. Open mixed doubles tournament on Aug. 19-20, before singles competition begins Aug. 24.
Ten of the top 11 women in the WTA singles rankings 鈥� Coco Gauff, who just won the French Open for her second Grand Slam title, is the only one missing 鈥� and 10 of the top 11 men on the ATP tour, including No. 1 Jannik Sinner and 24-time major champion Novak Djokovic, have registered to compete for the $1 million top prize that will be split by the winners, an $800,000 increase over last year.
鈥淟ook at the field we have,鈥� said Stacey Allaster, who鈥檚 in her final year as U.S. Open tournament director. 鈥淚t is going to be fantastic for the fans.鈥�
