The US Open Mixed Doubles has become one of the biggest talking points in tennis since its inception in 2025, with several high-profile tennis stars joining forces.<\/p>\n
Last year saw the likes of Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz team up, while there are several headline-grabbing teams signed up for this year\u2019s US Open.<\/p>\n
The headline act is surely Novak Djokovic and Aryna Sabalenka, while Alexander Zverev has teamed with Taylor Townsend, and Iga Swiatek will join forces with Casper Ruud.<\/p>\n
At last year\u2019s event, Alex de Minaur and Katie Boulter were not awarded a wildcard, meaning the real-life couple were not able to play the illustrious tournament.<\/p>\n
At the Washington Open, de Minaur has been asked if they will play this year\u2019s event, just a few weeks after the high-profile pair were married.<\/p>\n
Carlos Alcaraz told there\u2019s \u2018no need\u2019 for him to rush back in time for the Cincinnati Open<\/a><\/p>\n Stefanos Tsitsipas explodes on court and smashes his racket as Alex de Minaur sets up dream match<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cYeah, we\u2019ve entered. We\u2019ve entered, I don\u2019t think we\u2019ll we\u2019ll get in on our rankings, on our combined rankings,\u201d said the Australian in Washington.<\/p>\n However, de Minaur<\/a> conceded that he would once again be relying on a wildcard, so an appearance for married couple continues to hang in the balance.<\/p>\n \u201cSo we\u2019ll probably have to rely on a wild card,\u201d he added. \u201cSo, we\u2019re hoping that maybe this year we get a run and we can play as a married couple.\u201d<\/p>\n Boulter<\/a> currently sits at World No 71 in the rankings, which is essentially the reason why they will not receive instant access into the tournament.<\/p>\n However, there is every chance they will receive a wildcard for the event, particularly after their wedding. But there are several names who have not confirmed their status yet who might also need a wildcard.<\/p>\n The likes of Alcaraz<\/a> and Serena Williams<\/a>, who have been rumoured to be playing the event together, are not on the initial entry list, along with world No 1 Jannik Sinner<\/a>.<\/p>\n Venus Williams<\/a>, who has played doubles sporadically throughout the year with the likes of Alex Eala<\/a>, Boulter, and Diana Shnaider<\/a>, has also not confirmed if she will be playing the event. It would, however, be a surprise if she isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n The icon is reportedly set to hang up her racket at the US Open<\/a>, her home Grand Slam that she has won four times between singles and doubles. That would bring her 22-year career to a close.<\/p>\n Last year\u2019s wildcards were as follows: Olga Danilovi\u0107 and Novak Djokovic<\/a>, Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori, Caty McNally and Lorenzo Musetti<\/a>, Naomi Osaka<\/a> and Ga\u00ebl Monfils<\/a>, Raducanu and Alcaraz, Townsend and Ben Shelton<\/a>, and Venus Williams and Reilly Opelka<\/a>.<\/p>\n The post Alex de Minaur says if he plans to play the US Open Mixed Doubles with Katie Boulter this year<\/a> appeared first on Tennis365<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The US Open Mixed Doubles has become one of the biggest talking points in tennis since its inception in 2025, with several high-profile tennis stars joining forces.
