Carlos Alcaraz, Emma Raducanu lose in first round of U.S Open mixed doubles event
The much-hyped pairing of Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu was bounced in the first round of the new U.S. Open mixed doubles event on Tuesday. Alcaraz, the No. 2 men's player in the world, and Raducanu, the 35th-ranked women's player, are both former U.S. Open singles champions. Yet they lost 4-2, 4-2 against the top-seeded team of Jack Draper and Jessica Pegula in a match that lasted less than one hour. The mixed-doubles event has drawn criticism this year for a new format that prioritizes singles stars over teams that specialize in doubles play. Instead of a 32-team field, there were only 16 teams in the tournament this year. Half the field was determined by players' singles rankings, while the remaining eight teams were selected by the U.S. Tennis Association. The prize money is also significantly higher, with the winners taking home $1 million compared to only $200,000 last year. The gameplay and timing of the tournament were also changed, with sets being played to only four games, and the two-day event taking place before the singles as something of a tune-up. 'It would be like if, at the Olympics, they didn't let the actual high jumpers participate, and instead had basketball players compete in the high jump because it's more 'interesting,' Sara Errani, who won the doubles event with Andrea Vavassori last year, told the Associated Press earlier this week. 'If you want to do that, I guess you can, but you can't award them medals. You can't have a Grand Slam doubles (trophy) and not let doubles players take part. ... You're excluding them from their sport. It's dishonest.' British player Joe Salisbury told the AP the decision to include singles stars "does bring a bit more attention to it." "But I'm not sure it's good for the doubles event, because it's not really a proper event. It's just a two-day exhibition." The mixed-doubled tournament will conclude on Wednesday.

Coco Gauff splits with key coach on eve of U.S. Open, practices with serve expert
Coco Gauff has hit the panic button, five days before the start of the U.S. Open. Gauff, the world No. 3, has parted ways with grip expert Matt Daly, who she hired at the end of last year's U.S. Open to strengthen her serve and forehand, two of the most important shots in tennis. She has brought on Gavin MacMillan, a biomechanics specialist who helped rescue world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka's serve. MacMillan was on court with Gauff during practice at the Billie Jean King Tennis Center Wednesday, alongside her longtime coach Jean-Christophe Faurel. Advertisement A representative for Gauff confirmed the change, first reported by ESPN. MacMillan was not immediately available for comment. After a period of upturn in late 2024 and early 2025, Gauff's serving troubles have returned. She hit 42 double faults in three matches during the WTA 1000 Canadian Open in Montreal, one rung below a Grand Slam, before hitting 16 in a quarterfinal defeat to Jasmine Paolini at the Cincinnati Open. It was last year's U.S. Open exit to compatriot Emma Navarro, which also featured a string of double faults, that led Gauff to say that she didn't want to lose that way any longer. She fired coach Brad Gilbert, with whom she had won the title in New York in 2023, and brought in Daly. The partnership seemed to work, but the results have not held of late. Jason Stacy, one of Sabalenka's lead coaches, brought in MacMillan in summer 2022 to fix a serve that was producing more than 20 double faults in matches. He got immediate results, as Sabalenka's double faults plummeted and she reached the semifinals of that year's U.S. Open. She has since gone on to win three majors on her route to the top ranking in women's tennis. The U.S. Open singles main draws begin Sunday Aug. 24. This story will be updated.
