Novak Đoković, srbski teniški as, in Belorusinja Arina Sabalenka, trenutna številka ena ženskega tenisa, sta bili izbrana kot eden najboljših parov za mešane dvojice na odprtem prvenstvu ZDA. Oba igralca nista prijavila vodilnega igralca sveta Jannika Sinnersa in drugouvrščenega Carlosa Alcaraza, ki sta odklonila zaradi različnih razlogov. Turnir dvojic je bil letos prenovljen z novimi sistemom točkovanja in datumom, kar je spodbudilo najboljše igralce k sodelovanju. Italijanski par Sara Errani in Andrea Vavassori, ki sta bila do sedaj kritična, bosta branila naslov, ki jima je lani prinesel ček v vrednosti milijona dolarjev. Đoković in Sabalenka sta med prvimi šestimi pari, izbranimi na podlagi svetovne lestvice, in bosta lahko prijavili svojo udeležbo do 17. avgusta. Sinner bo izpustil odprto prvenstvo Kanade, medtem ko Alcaraz okreva po poškodbi zapestja.

Novak Đoković and Arina Sabalenka have been confirmed as top contenders for mixed doubles at the upcoming U.S. Open. Leading players such as Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz have opted out due to injury and recovery periods. The tournament format has undergone significant changes this year, including shorter scoring systems in early rounds and a new schedule two days before the main singles event begins. These reforms aim to encourage top players to participate. Last year’s champions, Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori, are defending their title, which came with a $1 million prize. The deadline for registration for the fourth and final Grand Slam of the season is August 17. Eight pairs will receive wildcard entries, while two others will qualify through the qualifying rounds. The main draw will begin on August 25, five days before the start of the singles competitions.
