The competition will take place during US Open Fan Week on Tuesday, Aug. 19, and Wednesday, Aug. 20, at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, with $1 million in prize money being awarded to the winning team.

In total, 16 teams have entered as of 5:00pm EST on June 16. The entry window will close on July 28 at 12:00 ET, at which time the top eight teams with the best combined singles ranking at the time will officially be in the field/draw via direct acceptance. The remaining eight teams will be determined via wild card and announced on a date to follow.

“In our initial discussions about reimagining and elevating the US Open Mixed Doubles Championship, we wanted to find a way to showcase the world’s best men and women competing with and against one another, and we were confident that we would be able to get the top players in the game excited about this unique opportunity,” said Lew Sherr, the USTA's CEO and executive director.

“Seeing the teams that have already put their names on the entry list makes us all incredibly excited. It shows that the players are behind what we are trying to do, and we know that the fans will love it.”

Earlier this year, the USTA announced the reimagining of the US Open Mixed Doubles Championship, with the goal of driving greater awareness for this storied competition, giving fans both in attendance and across the globe the opportunity to see tennis’ biggest stars - both men and women - compete side-by-side for a US Open Grand Slam title.

"The US Open has long strived to find innovative and new ways to make the game more accessible and entertaining for our fans,” said US Open Tournament Director Stacey Allaster.

“We believe that this reimagined US Open Mixed Doubles Championship will do exactly that, with the top men and women players in tennis competing side-by-side in a fast-paced, highly competitive format. Being able to move this event to a place on the schedule where it is able to take center stage was very important, and with our broadcast partners fully bought-in, more fans than ever before, both in the U.S. and around the globe, will be able to enjoy this incredible competition."

This year the event was moved from the third week of the tournament, its traditional place on the calendar, to the first week—US Open Fan Week—to enable top singles stars to compete together and to give this Grand Slam Championship center stage, including coverage by ESPN and international broadcast rights holders. Other enhancements for this year’s event will be:

A player field featuring 16 teams—eight teams earning direct entry based on their combined singles ranking and eight wild-card entries.

$1 million in prize money for the US Open Mixed Doubles Champions (team)
Best-of-three-set matches with short sets to four games, no-ad scoring, tiebreakers at four-all and a 10-point match tiebreak in lieu of a third set.

The final will be a best-of-three set match to six games, featuring no-ad scoring, with tiebreakers at six-all and a 10-point match tiebreaker in lieu of a third set.

All matches played in Arthur Ashe Stadium or Louis Armstrong Stadium.

The event will be featured across ESPN properties:
Tuesday: 11am - 1pm ET on ESPN2; 1pm - 2pm ET on ESPNews
Wednesday: 7pm - 10pm ET on ESPN2

Technically this tournament is not part of the US Open proper but I wasn't sure if it should be given it's own board.

[ti-amie]

He was at press conferences and have covered Alcaraz a lot.

Both stars know about the fanfictions about them. It is a good pr and promotion for both. Look at the hype. It also can lead to more endorsement and income. Win win situation for them. As this pairing has more hype than all others combined lol

Who should have been celebrated a long time ago.
Never saw her play, of course. But the record is that she was a truly outstanding player. And a personal story worth telling.

Not sure if this is the right thread but I'd like to contribute the broadcast schedule for the tournament in the U.S. Arrows indicate channel changes.

All courts streaming live | ESPN DTC
August 18-21: Qualifying | 11am ESPN2 => 1-5pm ESPNEWS
August 20: Mixed doubles final | 7-10pm ESPN2
August 24: First round | 11am ESPN2 => Noon ABC => 3pm ESPN2
August 25-26: First round | 11:30am ESPN, 7pm ESPN2 (primetime respectively at AA and LA)
August 27: Second round | 11:30am ESPN

Why no preshow for WTA final? College football?

[news727]

Why no preshow for WTA final? College football?

Yes.

ABC is fully booked for the day:

Noon - Illinois/Duke or Texas/San Jose St
3:30pm - Kentucky/Ole Miss
7pm - College Football Scoreboard
7:30pm - SNF: Oklahoma/Michigan

ESPN's live event schedule for that afternoon:

Noon - Illinois/Duke or Texas/San Jose St (whichever game ABC doesn't select)
3pm - College Football Scoreboard
4pm - WTA final
7pm - Kansas State/Army

So a few scenarios emerge:
1) Game runs short (less than 3.5 hours). ESPN could do a 15/20 min studio show (depending on how much content exists), then transition to the WTA pregame.
2) Game runs minutes above 3.5 hours. If they still want to do a WTA pregame, the ending for the CFB may have to be rushed.
3) Game runs tens of minutes above but still before 4pm. No WTA pregame, instead the studio show will be backtimed to 4pm.
4) Game runs until 4pm or later. A flash yellow warning may appear on screen that WTA coverage will start on ESPNEWS/ESPN DTC.
5) Same as 4 but the game is a blowout. A flash yellow warning may appear on screen that CFB will conclude on ESPNEWS/ESPN DTC.

Darwin Blanch, Alyssa Ahn earn 2025 US Open wild cards with national junior titles
Monday, August 11, 2025



Top American juniors Darwin Blanch and Alyssa Ahn won the USTA Boys’ and Girls’ 18s National Championships on Sunday, each earning a main-draw wild card into the US Open.

The 17-year-old Blanch, who was the tournament’s top seed, did not drop a set en route to the final, where he defeated No. 8 seed Jack Satterfield (18; Tampa, Fla.), 6-3, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, Sunday in Kalamazoo, Mich. The Boca Raton, Fla., native has predominantly been playing on the ITF World Tennis Tour recently, winning his first professional singles title at a M15 event in Spain in February.

Blanch also became only the second player this century to win both the boys’ 16s and 18s titles in Kalamazoo, having won the 16-and-under title in 2022 at the age of 14.

hn, meanwhile, also completed the 16s and 18s sweep of the USTA Billie Jean King Girls’ National Championships in her native San Diego, having also won the 16-and-under title in 2022. This year, the 18-year-old and No. 7 seed handily defeated No. 17 seed Maya Iyengar (18; Paradise Valley, Ariz.), 6-1, 6-2, in Sunday’s singles final. Ahn is committed to play college tennis next season at Stanford.

The top seeds in the boys’ doubles field also raised the trophy this weekend as Max Exsted (18; Savage, Minn.) and Cooper Woestendick (18; Olathe, Kan.) won the boys’ 18s doubles title in Kalamazoo. Meanwhile, the No. 2-seeded pair of Thea Frodin (16; Woodland Hills, Calif.) and Kristina Penickova (15; Campbell, Calif.) prevailed in San Diego, bringing home the girls’ 18s doubles title. Both pairs will be rewarded with a US Open main-draw doubles wild card.

Singles finalists Satterfield and Iyengar will both receive a US Open Qualifying wild card.

Former women's champion Venus Williams headlines 2025 US Open wild cards
Wednesday, August 13, 2025

Venus Williams, one of the sport's most legendary players, is making her return to the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center as a wild card for the 2025 US Open.

Fellow Americans Clervie Ngounoue, Julieta Pareja, Caty McNally, Valerie Glozman and Alyssa Ahn will also receive singles main draw wild cards, as well as France’s Caroline Garcia, a 2022 semifinalist, and Australian Talia Gibson.

Williams, 45, is a seven-time Grand Slam singles champion, including twice at the US Open (2000, 2001). Williams returned to action last month at the Mubadala Citi DC Open in Washington, D.C., playing her first match in 16 months and earning her first singles victory in nearly two years. With the victory, Williams became the oldest player to win a WTA Tour-level singles match in more than 21 years. She is also playing in the reimagined mixed doubles championship, teaming up with compatriot Reilly Opelka.

Along with her sister, Williams helped to inspire the next generation of Black tennis players, including Ngounoue. During a press conference in Washington, D.C., Williams said it was far from what she expected when she first picked up a racquet, but she's thrilled to have made an impact.

"As a young person, I wanted to play the game, be a champion. I loved the game so much, I didn't realize that it would be so much bigger than myself," she said. "Seeing these young women doing positive things with their life, winning tournaments, inspiring the next generation, too, it's like I could have never imagined that. So it's like icing on the cake, cherries on top with the nuts and all the fixings. It's beautiful."

Ngounoue, 19, reached a career-best ranking of world No. 191 last month after winning her second singles title of the season at an ITF World Tennis Tour W50 event in Spain. The former world No. 1 junior will be returning to the US Open for the first time since 2023, when she received a wild card after winning the singles title at the USTA Billie Jean King Girls’ 18s National Championship, her only previous Grand Slam main draw appearance.

Pareja, 16, is currently ranked as the No. 1 junior in the world. She reached the girls’ singles and doubles final at Wimbledon earlier this summer and achieved a career-best professional ranking of world No. 317 earlier this year following a run to the semifinals of the WTA 250 event in Bogota, Colombia as a qualifier.

McNally, 23, earned her wild card by winning the US Open Wild Card Challenge, buoyed by her singles title at the USTA Pro Circuit W100 event in Evansville, Ind., last month. The title was McNally’s second of the month of July, after taking home the crown at the WTA 125 event in Newport, R.I. She now finds herself on the cusp of breaking back into the WTA Top 100, with a current ranking of world No. 104.

Glozman, 18, earned her wild card by winning the women’s singles title at the inaugural American Collegiate Wild Card Playoffs in June. The reigning ACC Freshman of the Year at Stanford, Glozman bested a field of the top American collegiate players at the new event designed to increase the number of US Open wild cards allotted to the top college tennis players. Glozman is no stranger to New York, having competed in US Open qualifying each of the past three years.

Ahn, 18, won the singles title at the USTA Billie Jean King Girls’ 18s National Championships. The San Diego native is committed to play college tennis at Stanford this year, where she will be a teammate of fellow wild card recipient Glozman.

Garcia, 31, will play in her final Grand Slam at the tournament at which she achieved her best Grand Slam singles result—a semifinal appearance in 2022—as she announced she will retire from tennis at the end of the 2025 season. The former world No. 4 has won 11 WTA Tour titles including the WTA Finals in 2022. She earned her wild card based on a reciprocal agreement between the USTA and FFT where wild cards between the US Open and Roland Garros are exchanged.

Gibson, 21, is currently ranked a career-best No. 107 and has won two professional singles titles this year. She earned her wild card based on a reciprocal agreement between the USTA and Tennis Australia where wild cards between the US Open and Australian Open are exchanged.

Nine American women are receiving wild cards into the US Open Qualifying tournament, held August 18-21 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center:

Fiona Crawley, 23, the former all-American at North Carolina who has won two professional singles titles this year; Hina Inoue, 22, who has won one professional singles title this year; Ayana Akli, 24, who won her first professional singles title in May and is currently ranked a career-best world No. 285; Monika Ekstrand, 18, who reached the final of the W100 event in Cary, N.C., last month as a qualifier and has won two professional singles titles this year; Kristina Penickova, 15, the current No. 5 junior in the world who has won two Grand Slam girls’ doubles titles this year; Akasha Urhobo, 18, who reached the singles final at the W35 event in Boca Raton, Fla., this spring; Alexis Nguyen, 17, a rising high school senior who is committed to play college tennis at North Carolina; Mary Stoiana, 22, an all-American at Texas A&M who was the runner-up at the American Collegiate Wild Card Playoffs; and Maya Iyengar, 18, the USTA Girls’ 18s national singles runner-up.
