New York – Jannik Sinner has a new partner in the US Open Mixed Doubles Tournament. There, Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz will face the No. 1 seed team in the first round.
The remaining fields of the 16 teams were completed on Sunday and a draw took place ahead of the two-day event, which began on Tuesday, paying $1 million to the winning team.
Alcaraz and Raducanu will face Jessica Pegula and Jack Draper teams, both of our open singles champions of the past.
The top-ranked Sinner will play for Katerina Siniakova, the major 10-time women’s doubles champion. He was scheduled to team up with Emma Navarro next week before retreating to play in the women’s tournament in Monterrey, Mexico.
