Carlos Alcaraz has joined forces with Emma Raducanu for the upcoming US Open mixed doubles tournament. Alcaraz, who recently competed in the Cincinnati Open, quickly made his way to New York for the doubles event after his opponent, Jannik Sinner, retired due to illness during their match.
Despite initial concerns about their participation, Alcaraz and Raducanu are now confirmed to compete in the mixed doubles tournament, scheduled just before the main event. Alcaraz expressed enthusiasm for the unique format, emphasizing his excitement to partner with Raducanu and enjoy the experience.
The duo is set to begin their campaign on Tuesday evening against Jack Draper and Jessica Pegula. Alcaraz, jokingly acknowledging Raducanu as the “boss” of their partnership, highlighted their long-standing relationship and mutual eagerness to showcase their doubles skills and strive for victory.
Following the mixed doubles competition, both players will shift their focus to their respective singles campaigns. Raducanu aims to improve on her past US Open performances, while Alcaraz, the reigning men’s champion, looks to build on his success from the previous year.
