The mixed doubles format of the US Open has been reformed, and Alcaraz and Raducanu have finally become a dream pair

In this year's US Open Mixed Doubles, the combination of Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu is undoubtedly one of the most high-profile events. With the two sides confirming that they will play together, Alcaraz shares how this "dream combination" has gone from vision to reality.

The U.S. Open has tweaked the mixed doubles format to a week before the start of the main event, with generous prize money and a series of star-studded combinations. Alcaraz and Raducanu are particularly notable among the many pairs, as it will not only be the first time the pair have worked together on the Circle, but will further cement the strong friendship they have forged off the court.

Speaking about the partnership, Alcaraz said with a smile:

"She's going to be the dominant and I'm super excited about it, it's going to be great. The idea of the tournament organizers is great. Emma and I have known each other for a long time, we know each other well, we have a good relationship and will definitely enjoy the game. ”

He also revealed that he had always thought that partnering with Raducanu was the best choice, and it was with this in mind that he offered Raducanu an invitation to form a team. Alcaraz also confidently stated:

I'm going to play doubles and of course we want to win, but most of all it's going to be fun. I thought I wouldn't have a better choice unless it was Emma, so I asked her if she would like to be paired with me – and I made a request.

Alcaraz had previously partnered with Nadal in doubles at the Paris Olympics and gained a wealth of experience in major tournaments, while Raducanu had a more limited experience in doubles. While she did win the Queen's Club HSBC Championship with Katie Bolt earlier this month, she also graciously admits she often feels overwhelmed in doubles matches.

The duo quickly gained the nickname "Alcaranu" from their fans.

Great Britain's Jack Draper confirmed to be teaming up with Chinese Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen at the US Open Mixed Doubles event, and when asked if he had considered partnering with Raducanu, he humorously responded that he felt he had been "left out in the cold".

Draper said with a smile: "A wise man said that if you want to find the best partner, she chose Alcaraz, and I don't blame her at all." Carlos is probably one of the best players in the world at the moment, and he's also strong in doubles – as you can tell when you're partnered with Nadal at the Olympics. She chose the best partner and hoped they would do well. ”

Draper's remarks reflect Raducanu's popularity in the tennis world, which makes both top male players eager to work with him.

With the US Open mixed doubles format revolutionised, the tournament has become one of the most anticipated events in tennis in 2025. In addition to the duo of Alcaraz and Raducanu, the rest of the line-up is equally luxurious, with many of the world's top players competing together:

World No. 1 Sinner is partnered with American Emma Navarro.

Women's Singles world No. 1 Sabalenka teamed up with Dimitrov.

Naomi Osaka partners Kyrgios.

Djokovic with fellow Serbian Olga Danilovic.

Couple combination Badosa and Tsitsipas combination.

Wait a minute......

They will all show their style on the court and bring a wonderful tennis feast to the fans together.

Who else are you looking forward to in combination with whom? It is estimated that it will be exposed soon.

For example, Zhang Shuai is his partner Pierce? Or partner Pavic?

Actually, I really want to see Wang Xinyu and Zhang Zhizhen teaming up. They won a silver medal at last year's Paris Olympics.

This reform idea of the US Open is expected to be quickly copied by the other three Grand Slam tournaments.
