Among others, Belinda Bencic from Eastern Switzerland and the German Alexander Zverev form a duo, as the organizers announced.
The two singles Olympic champions from Tokyo 2021 will face a whole host of top-class competitors. Jannik Sinner, the men's No. 1, will play with American Emma Navarro (WTA 9), while the current best player Aryna Sabalenka will team up with Grigor Dimitrov (ATP 19). Olga Danilovic/Novak Djokovic, Iga Swiatek/Casper Ruud, Naomi Osaka/Nick Kyrgios and Emma Raducanu/Carlos Alcaraz are other notable pairings for a competition that otherwise leads a shadowy existence at Grand Slam tournaments.
The New York organizers succeeded in upgrading the event with a new date. Instead of taking place towards the end of the tournament as usual, the mixed will be held in the qualifying week, i.e. before the actual start of the US Open (August 23 to September 7), on August 19 and 20. The winning mixed duo will receive one million dollars in prize money.
