Alcaraz-Serena To Face Qualifier In US Open Mixed Doubles Opener; Djokovic-Sabalenka Draw Tiafoe-Fernandez
United States Tennis Association: Carlos Alcaraz and Serena Williams will begin their much-anticipated US Open 2026 mixed doubles campaign against a qualifier after the wildcard pair was handed their first-round opponent in the 16-team event on Sunday.
Alcaraz and Williams, who are making their first return to the US Open since 2022, have been given a wildcard place in the newly arranged mixed doubles tournament. Nevertheless, their first-round match against a qualifier might prove to be a tough task, since the qualifying tournament is expected to include doubles specialists.
This year the qualifying tournament was introduced because of complaints that doubles specialists were being left out as the United States Tennis Association made an effort to increase the number of top players in the event.
