One of the most recognized couples on the circuit, Alex de Miñaur and Katie Boulter, were set to make an appearance at one of the most prominent exhibition tennis events, namely the mixed doubles at the US Open. The confirmation comes from the Australian, who is currently participating in the ATP 500 in Washington. Thus, the couple, who got married less than a month ago, will fight for the title.

“Yes, we have signed up. We have signed up, but I don’t think we will qualify based on our combined ranking,” warns the world number seven in statements reported by Tennis365, although no one doubts the couple's presence. However, the inconsistent year for the Brit has pushed her down to the 71st position in the WTA ranking. Yet both have an opportunity in this North American hard court swing to climb positions and secure their presence in the high-profile tournament.

This year's lineup seems not to include Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu, but they have nothing to envy about the duo formed by Novak Djokovic and Aryna Sabalenka. Alexander Zverev, who has partnered with Taylor Townsend, and Iga Swiatek, who will team up with Casper Ruud, have also confirmed their participation. Other confirmed pairs include Jack Draper and Jessica Pegula, Taylor Fritz and Elena Rybakina, or Mirra Andreeva and Andrey Rublev.

Although Carlos Alcaraz's participation, as of today, does not exist. Various US media rumors suggest that the Spaniard's goal, in addition to recovering from his wrist injury, is to participate alongside Serena Williams, which would be a historic and memorable pairing. This mixed doubles at the US Open will take place the week before the start of the New York Grand Slam and will feature 16 pairs.
