New York-Jannik Sinner has a new partner for the US Open Mixed Doubles Tournament, where Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz will be opposite the number 1-ranked team in the first round.
The rest of the field of 16 teams was completed on Sunday and the draw was carried out prior to the two -day event that starts on Tuesday and pays $ 1 million to the winning team.
Alcaraz and Raducanu, both beyond our open singles champions, are confronted with the team of Jessica Pegula and Jack Draper, who pulled the number 1 seed based on the lowest combined singles rangers.
The best-ranking sinner now plays a 10-time ladies’ doubles large champion Katerina Siniakova. He was planned to work with Emma Navarro before she withdrew to play in the Women’s Tournament in Monterrey, Mexico next week.
The other teams that have been added to the event on Sunday are double US open women’s champion Naomi Osaka and Gael Monfils, Karolina Muchova and Andrey Rublev and Caty McNally and Lorenzo Musetti.
Musetti was planned to play with colleague Italian Jasmine Paolini, but she plays Iga Swiatek in the final of Cincinnati and withdrew. Swiatek stays in the field with partner Casper Ruud.
Sinner and the second ranked Alcaraz Face Off in the men’s final and will have a quick change to their doubles openers in New York.
Sinner and Siniakova, who received one of the eight wildcards, will open against the team of Alexander Zverev and Belinda Bencic.
