The stage is almost set for the mixed doubles extravaganza at the 2025 US Open. The newly overhauled format will see top names like Carlos Alcaraz, Emma Raducanu, Iga Swiatek, Casper Ruud, Jannik Sinner, and Emma Navarro (among others), stepping on the court in pairs. A massive prize money of $1 million will be on the line. On Tuesday, the organizers almost confirmed the entire lineup of the mixed doubles. As usual, there were some familiar faces from WTA and ATP making the final list. Except for one tennis power couple. But who? None other than Aussie star and newly crowned Citi Open winner Alex de Minaur and British talent Katie Boulter.
Wait, is the famous on-court and off-court couple not in the US Open mixed doubles entry list? Well, yes. That’s true. The event confirmed 14 teams recently. Surprisingly, though, Minaur and Boulter’s names are nowhere to be seen. Being completely shocked, Minaur took to X on an urgent basis and made a plea to the US Open on behalf of himself and Boulter. The World No.8 wrote, “Katie and I would like to ask for a WC pretty pretty please ”
