Emma Raducanu has been paired with Carlos Alcaraz at the reimagined US Open mixed doubles championship.
The pairings also see British No 1 Jack Draper matched with China’s Qinwen Zheng for the tournament – which begins on August 19, live on Sky Sports – at Arthur Ashe to compete for a $1m (£737,522) prize pot before the singles event.
Traditionally played in the latter stages of grand slams, US Open organisers announced earlier this year they would hold the mixed doubles tournament over two days in the week before the main tournament in an attempt to attract more high-profile players.
The response was largely negative but the announcement of the first 16 pairs to have entered appears to have justified the move.
Raducanu will hope it is more successful than her first mixed doubles attempt at a Grand Slam last summer with Andy Murray at Wimbledon, where she pulled out ahead of their opening match because of concern over her wrist, denying her partner what would have been a final appearance at the All England Club.
It became one of the biggest stories of the tournament, with Raducanu receiving heavy criticism and later apologising to Murray.
World No 1 Jannik Sinner has been paired with America’s Emma Navarro, whilst 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic is paired with fellow Serb Olga Danilovic.

The 2025 US Open will be broadcast exclusively live on Sky Sports Tennis from Sunday August 24 through to Sunday September 7, which will see Sinner and Sabalenka defend their men’s and women’s singles titles at Flushing Meadows.
