“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, CEO and Executive Director, USTA. “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 Stacey Allaster, US Open Tournament Director. “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.
