Kristina Mladenovic treasures nine Grand Slam titles in doubles, three of them in mixed doubles. She dreams of expanding that record, so her indignation at the initiative of the US Open 2025 to turn the mixed doubles tournament into a high-impact media event, gathering the world's best but completely distorting the format in which she can achieve success.

"When you hear Alcaraz and others say they are going to play the tournament to have fun and prepare for the US Open, it's embarrassing. We're talking about a Grand Slam event; it can't be preparation or fun. From a business strategy perspective, the idea is brilliant. However, from a sports perspective, they are altering the essence of our sport, which is a big problem. I think having such an event is fine, but they shouldn't eliminate the traditional mixed doubles tournament from the Grand Slam," the Frenchwoman concluded on tennisactu.
