US Open mixed doubles: Pegula/Draper return, star‑studded field, key players missing
American No. 1 Jessica Pegula confirmed she will again partner with Britain’s Jack Draper in the US Open mixed‑doubles event, aiming to replicate the chemistry that took them to the 2025 semifinals as top‑seeded pair. In that run they beat Emma Raducanu / Carlos Alcaraz and Daniil Medvedev / Mirra Andreeva before falling to Iga Świątek / Casper Ruud in a match‑tiebreak.
The 2026 entry list features several high‑profile duos, including Aryna Sabalenka / Novak Djokovic, Elena Rybakina / Taylor Fritz, Iga Świątek / Casper Ruud and Mirra Andreeva / Andrey Rublev. Notably, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz are absent from the draw, the latter due to a wrist injury. Newly married Australians Alex de Minaur and Katie Boulter have also applied for a wild‑card entry, hoping to compete together despite uncertain ranking eligibility.
