Just like in 2025, the US Open has announced the incredible mixed doubles draw with which they will kick off this year's edition. It will once again be filled with stars. Pending any new surprises that could be announced in the coming weeks, the main attraction will be the duo formed by Aryna Sabalenka and Novak Djokovic, along with some duos returning from last year.

The Serbian tennis player and the WTA number 1 have maintained an amazing relationship for a long time, even engaging in dance battles after winning their respective matches at Grand Slams. Therefore, this pairing will be synonymous with guaranteed entertainment, both for their quality and the charisma they will display on the court, making them one of the favorite pairs to lift the trophy.

Additionally, several duos from the 2025 edition will also be present, such as Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori (defending champions), Jack Draper and Jessica Pegula, Taylor Fritz and Elena Rybakina, or Casper Ruud and Iga Swiatek (last year's finalists). With this initiative, the tournament aims to enhance a format that was becoming obsolete, and the format is expected to remain the same: best-of-three sets matches with sets played to 4 games, and in case of a set tie, a 10-point super tiebreak is played. The only variation will be in the final, where the first two sets are played in the standard 6-game format, and the third set maintains the super tiebreak rule.

Will Alcaraz and Serena Williams play together in the US Open mixed doubles?

Those who won't be in this edition, at least for now, are Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu. It should be noted that the lists are provisional, and the registration deadline has not ended yet, so we will have to wait to know the final draw as happened last year. Additionally, there are wildcards yet to be allocated, which could be reserved for other big names on the circuit. There were strong rumors that Alcaraz could team up with Serena Williams, but both are dealing with minor injuries.

The GOAT of women's tennis injured her knee at Wimbledon and, although it doesn't seem serious, she might focus only on the singles event. Alcaraz, on the other hand, has been out of competition since April due to a wrist injury and plans to return at the Cincinnati Masters 1000 to get match fitness for the final Grand Slam of the year. Nevertheless, he will arrive just in time for New York, so it is still uncertain whether they will be the star duo of the tournament, but if they team up, it would be one of the big moments of the year.
