The U.S. Open’s revamped mixed doubles tournament continues to attract big names, with the latest entry list—released Monday—featuring several eye-catching partnerships.
Among them, Venus Williams, a seven-time Grand Slam singles champion, is teaming up with Reilly Opelka, while Amanda Anisimova, fresh off her Wimbledon runner-up finish, partners with Danish star Holger Rune.
25 Teams Vying for a Spot, $1 Million Prize at Stake
A total of 25 duos have now signed up for the innovative competition, set to be held on August 19–20, just days before the U.S. Open main draw begins. Only 16 teams will make the final field, with the winning pair set to earn a staggering $1 million, making it one of the richest payouts in mixed doubles history.
The entry deadline is one week away, after which the top eight teams, based on combined ATP and WTA singles rankings, will receive direct entry into the draw. The remaining eight spots will be filled by wild-card entries, handpicked by the U.S. Tennis Association (USTA).
The mixed doubles event has been rescheduled to take place the week before the start of singles play, which begins August 24.
