The 2025 US Open mixed doubles lineup has changed dramatically, with the world's top 10 players playing in a large area, and Zheng Qinwen also following suit

The 2025 US Open Mixed Doubles, which kicks off in August, will be a huge change from last year. The Associated Press reported on the 18th: "In this year's US Open mixed doubles competition, Carlos Alcaraz (Spain) and Emmara Raducanu (UK) have completed their applications. ”

In addition to Alcaraz/Raducanu, there are also top players such as Yannick Sinner (Italy)/Emma Navarro (USA), Novak Djokovic/Olga Danilovic (Serbia), Jack Draper (GBR)/Zheng Qinwen (China), Grigor Dimitrov (Bulgaria)/Arena Sabalenka (Belarus), Tsitsipas/Paula Badosa (Spain). Swiatek (Poland) also joined Kasper Ruud (Norway) in a team, while Naomi Osaka (Japan) will be partnered with Nick "The Bad Boy on the Pitch" Kyrios (AUS).

It is reported that 10 of the top 11 players in the men's and women's singles world rankings have applied for a total of 20 people to participate in this year's US Open mixed doubles. This is because the mixed doubles system at the US Open has changed this year.

As of last year, the US Open mixed doubles champion had a prize fund of $200,000, making it difficult for players who want to concentrate on singles to compete. But this year's mixed doubles champion will receive an increase of US$1 million in prize money and the tournament will take place on August 19-20, minimizing the impact on the singles final, which begins on August 24.

While there have been criticisms that this is a measure that does not take care of professional doubles players, the United States Tennis Association welcomes it, saying that it will help the tournament at the box office.

As of last year, there were 32 quota places for the US Open Mixed Doubles, but this year's Mixed Doubles draw has 16 spots, with eight pairs entering the tournament based on the overall singles rankings and eight pairs participating via wild cards. The format is a best-of-three system, with no lead in four games per set, a tie-break after a 4-4 draw, and a tie-break for the tiebreaker. The mixed doubles final adopts a best-of-three system, with no lead in six games in each set, a tie-break after a 6-6 draw, and a tie-break in the deciding set. All matches will be played at Arthur Ashe and Louis Armstrong.
