Top players to vie for increased prize of £740,000
Couple Stefanos Tsitsipas and Paula Badosa will team up
There will be a sprinkling of stardust at the US Open mixed doubles later this summer with Carlos Alcaraz partnering British No 1 Emma Raducanu in an event many top players have decided to give a try for the first time.
Jannik Sinner will play alongside the world No 9 Emma Navarro, while British No 1 Jack Draper will partner Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen. Novak Djokovic, meanwhile, has agreed to play with his Serbian compatriot Olga Danilovic.
The rush of big names to the event comes after the US Open moved the mixed doubles to the qualifying week, with matches being played on Arthur Ashe and Louis Armstrong courts on Tuesday 19 August and Wednesday 20 August.
