A blockbuster lineup of star-studded teams have officially entered into the reimagined US Open Mixed Doubles Championship for 2025. This unprecedented list of star entrants for Mixed Doubles—including nine of the world’s Top-10 women and nine of the world’s Top-10 men—makes mixed doubles at the 2025 US Open a must-attend Championship event. 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.

The entry list for the 2025 US Open Mixed Doubles Championship includes the following teams (listed by combined singles ranking):

Jessica Pegula and Tommy Paul
Jasmine Paolini and Lorenzo Musetti
Elena Rybakina and Taylor Fritz

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.

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.
