US Open Mixed Doubles 2025 Draw Revealed: Alcaraz-Raducanu To Face Top Seeds Draper-Pegula

The 2025 US Open mixed doubles draw has been released, with the revamped competition set for 19–20 August, ahead of the singles events. Marking the 145th edition of the US Open, the year’s final Grand Slam will once again take place on the outdoor hard courts at Louis Armstrong Stadium, featuring a refreshed format.

Jack Draper and Jessica Pegula head in as the top seeds, opening their campaign against wild cards Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz, a marquee clash right from the start.

The winners of that tie could find themselves up against Novak Djokovic and Olga Danilovic, provided the Serbian duo overcome the challenge of Mirra Andreeva and Daniil Medvedev in their opener.

Adding to the star power, Venus Williams returns at 45, partnering compatriot Reilly Opelka in a showdown with Karolina Muchova and Andrey Rublev.

The competition will feature 16 pairs and will be played under a new fast-paced format: sets to four games (excluding the final), no-ad scoring, and a 10-point match tie-break instead of a deciding set. All of it ensures shorter, sharper contests with plenty of unpredictability in store.

US Open Mixed Doubles Format

With $1 million (£750,000) in prize money at stake, the new US Open mixed doubles championship debuts on 19–20 August with 16 pairs competing for the title. Seven pairs earned direct entry based on combined singles rankings, while the remaining nine received wildcards.

Matches will be played under a fast-paced format: sets are shortened to four games (except in the final), with no-ad scoring, meaning the winner of the next point at deuce takes the game.

If both teams win four games in a set, a 10-point match tie-break will decide the winner. The final will follow the traditional best-of-three six-game sets, with a 10-point tie-break if the match is level after two sets. All matches will be held at Arthur Ashe and Louis Armstrong stadiums, making for a compact, high-intensity two-day competition.
