The US Open Mixed Doubles: A Revolutionary Tournament with Top-Tier Stars<\/h2>\n\nThe US Open mixed doubles promises strong emotions with stellar pairings, record prizes and a touch of controversy. The tournament, which starts on Tuesday in New York, has generated more expectation than ever.\n\nWhat makes this event so different? Here’s everything you need to know before the action begins.\n\n\n

An Unusual Format<\/h2>\n\n\nUnlike the usual mixed doubles tournaments, this one will be compressed into two days during the qualifying week. The matches will be played exclusively at Arthur Ashe Stadium and Louis Armstrong Stadium, the largest courts at the USTA National Tennis Center.\n\nIn addition, the tournament will feature an unprecedented number of top-level singles players.\n\n\n
\n

\u201cWe can play serious matches at Ashe, in front of full stadiums, and all the best players in the world are going to be playing,\u201d commented Frances Tiafoe.<\/p>\n\nFrances Tiafoe<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Stars on the Court<\/h2>\n\n\nThis year, the tournament features the most stellar field in history, with 10 Grand Slam singles champions among the 16 teams. In total, they have 54 Grand Slam titles. Seven additional players have reached a major singles final.\n\n\n
    \n
  • Jessica Pegula and Jack Draper<\/li>\n
  • Iga Swiatek and Casper Ruud<\/li>\n
  • Elena Rybakina and Taylor Fritz<\/li>\n
  • Amanda Anisimova and Holger Rune<\/li>\n
  • Belinda Bencic and Alexander Zverev<\/li>\n
  • Mirra Andreeva and Daniil Medvedev<\/li>\n
  • Madison Keys and Frances Tiafoe<\/li>\n
  • Karolina Muchova and Andrey Rublev<\/li>\n
  • Olga Danilovic and Novak Djokovic<\/li>\n
  • Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz<\/li>\n
  • Katerina Siniakova and Jannik Sinner<\/li>\n
  • Taylor Townsend and Ben Shelton<\/li>\n
  • Venus Williams and Reilly Opelka<\/li>\n
  • Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori<\/li>\n
  • Naomi Osaka and Gael Monfils<\/li>\n
  • Caty McNally and Lorenzo Musetti<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\nIt should be noted that the pairings have undergone last-minute changes. Swiatek, Alcaraz, and Sinner competed in the Cincinnati finals on Monday, which could affect their participation in Tuesday’s tournament.\n\nAlcaraz has expressed his enthusiasm for playing alongside Raducanu.\n\n\n
    \n

    \u201cShe is going to be the boss. I am super excited. I think it’s going to be great,\u201d Alcaraz said.<\/p>\n\nCarlos Alcaraz<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    \"Mirra<\/figure>\n\n\n

    Accelerated Game Format<\/h2>\n\nThe tournament will be played in a two-day format. Matches will be best of three sets, but each set will be won by reaching four games. In case of a tie at four games, a tiebreak will be played. The “no-advantage” system will be used in the games, which means that the team that wins the next point after a tie takes the game.\n\nIf there is a tie after the second set, a 10-point tiebreak will be played instead of the decisive set.\n\nIn the final, the format is again the best of three sets, with a team needing to win six games to take the set. The 10-point tiebreak is maintained in place of the third set.\n\n\n
    \n

    \u201cI love innovation. It’s fantastic. We’re going to go out and play and see how it works,\u201d said Venus Williams.<\/p>\n\nVenus Williams<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    Millionaire Awards<\/h2>\n\n\nThe prize for the mixed doubles champions is $1 million, a significant increase over previous years. The runners-up will receive $400,000. Teams that only reach the first round will receive $20,000.\n\n\n

    Mixed Reactions<\/h2>\n\n\nWhile players like Tiafoe, Alcaraz, and Williams see the tournament as an exciting opportunity, others, especially doubles specialists, have not received it with such enthusiasm.\n\nKaterina Siniakova, doubles champion, criticized the selection of the participants. Sam Verbeek, who won the Wimbledon title with Siniakova, expressed his disappointment with the doubles players.\n\nKristina Mladenovic, a two-time mixed doubles champion, called it a “brilliant idea” to generate revenue and attract attention to the tournament, but considered it a “super exhibition”.\n\nDespite the differing opinions, the tournament has already generated great interest and anticipation among fans.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
