Carlos Alcaraz has teamed up with Emma Raducanu for the mixed doubles tournament at the US Open following his journey of over 600 miles from the Wimbledon. There were concerns initially about their participation in the event, which is scheduled a week before the main tournament.
Alcaraz, 22, recently competed in the Cincinnati Open, where he faced Jannik Sinner, who retired due to illness during their match. After completing his media obligations, Alcaraz quickly boarded a private jet with Iga Swiatek to make it to New York for the doubles tournament.
Expressing his excitement about the mixed doubles event, Alcaraz mentioned that although the scheduling was not ideal, he was looking forward to playing with Emma and enjoying the experience. The duo is set to start their campaign against Jack Draper and Jessica Pegula.
Alcaraz humorously mentioned that Raducanu would be the one calling the shots during their partnership, highlighting their long-standing friendship and positive anticipation for the tournament. Following their mixed doubles participation, both players will focus on their singles campaigns.
As Raducanu aims to improve her past performance at the US Open and Alcaraz strives to build on his recent success, the duo is set to bring their best to the upcoming matches. Joining the WhatsApp community can provide fans with more updates and exclusive content related to the tournament.
