Alcaraz-Raducanu is a US Open mixed doubles entry. So are Osaka-Kyrgios, Keys-Tiafoe, Swiatek-Ruud
Imagine Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu competing together for a Grand Slam trophy. How about Madison Keys and Frances Tiafoe as a duo? Iga Swiatek alongside Casper Ruud? Or Naomi Osaka with Nick Kyrgios? Those are among the high-wattage pairs on Tuesday's preliminary entry list for the reimagined U.S. Open mixed doubles tournament on Aug. 19-20, before singles competition begins Aug. 24. Ten of the top 11 women in the WTA singles rankings — Coco Gauff, who just won the French Open for her second Grand Slam title, is the only one missing — and 10 of the top 11 men on the ATP tour, including No. 1 Jannik Sinner and 24-time major champion Novak Djokovic, have registered to compete for the $1 million top prize that will be split by the winners, an $800,000 increase over last year. 'Look at the field we have,' said Stacey Allaster, who's in her final year as U.S. Open tournament director. 'It is going to be fantastic for the fans.' ___ Howard Fendrich has been the AP's tennis writer since 2002. Find his stories here: More AP tennis:

Toto Wolff: Christian Horner's protest ‘petty and embarrassing'
Toto Wolff has described Red Bull's post-race protest against George Russell on Sunday night following his Canadian Grand Prix victory as 'petty' and 'embarrassing'. Russell, 27, won the fourth race of his career in Montréal, holding off Verstappen for 70 laps. But there was controversy afterwards, with Russell's driving behind a late safety car challenged by Red Bull. Christian Horner, Red Bull team principal, effectively accused Russell of brake-testing his man, trying to 'goad' the four-time world champion into giving away a penalty which would have triggered an automatic race suspension. Verstappen has 11 penalty points on his race licence, one short of a ban, following his collision with Russell in Barcelona a few weeks ago and Russell had joked before the race that he had 'more points to play with' than Verstappen should they get tangled up again. Horner claimed in his post-race media session that Russell 'clearly looked for Max in his mirrors before braking very heavily' and also accused the Briton of falling 'three times in excess of the permitted distance' behind the safety car. Is this why Red Bull are protesting against George Russell's Canadian GP victory? 🤔 — Sky Sports F1 (@SkySportsF1) June 15, 2025 Five hours after the race finished, the FIA finally confirmed Russell's victory, saying Red Bull's protests had been rejected on the grounds that the Englishman's braking was reasonable and he had not acted in an unsportsmanlike manner. Wolff, the Mercedes team principal, was left unimpressed by his old adversary's actions, accusing Horner of doing a similar thing in Miami earlier this year when Red Bull accused Russell of failing to slow sufficiently under yellow flags. That protest was also rejected. 'You know, honestly, it's so petty and so small,' said the Austrian, speaking at the launch of the new F1 movie in New York on Monday night. 'They've done it in Miami. Now they launched two protests. They took one back because it was ridiculous. 'They come up with some weird clauses, what they call clauses. I guess the FIA needs to look at that because it's so far-fetched it was rejected. 'You know, you race, you win and you lose on track. That was a fair victory for us, like so many they had in the past. And it's just embarrassing.' Asked whether Red Bull's protests should have been dismissed quicker, Wolff added: 'One of them they actually pulled as a protest, they didn't even follow through because it was nonsense. 'The second one took us five hours because I don't even know what you refer to as 'unsportsmanlike behaviour' or something. What is it all about? Who decides it? Because I'm 100 per cent sure it's not Max, he's a racer. 'He would never go for a protest on such a trivial thing.' It is unclear whether Verstappen agreed with Red Bull's course of action but earlier in the weekend he had declared himself 'p----- off' at what he termed 'childish' comments about his penalty points situation. Horner, for his part, said he had 'no regrets' over lodging the protest, which was considered by a panel of stewards that did not include British ex-driver Derek Warwick who was suspended earlier in the Canadian Grand Prix weekend for making 'unauthorised' media comments about Verstappen. 'No, absolutely not,' Horner told Sky Sports F1. 'I mean, it's a team's right to do so. You know, we saw something we didn't think was quite right. 'You have the ability to put it in front of the stewards and so that's what we chose to do. Absolutely no regrets in that.' 🗣️ "It's a teams right to do so" Christian Horner says he has 'no regrets' over challenging George Russell's Canadian GP win 🇨🇦 — Sky Sports F1 (@SkySportsF1) June 17, 2025 Horner promised the team would 'keep fighting until the very end' with Verstappen now 43 points behind McLaren's championship leader Oscar Piastri. 'We're not even halfway [through the season],' he said. 'We had a good weekend in Barcelona. We won obviously in Imola a few races ago, and as Sunday proved, anything can happen,' he said. 'You have just got to hang in there. It's a long championship. We don't give up on anything, keep fighting till the very end. If one person's going to do that, it's definitely going to be Max.' Russell, who has still not signed a contract with Mercedes beyond the end of the season, described the protests as 'a waste of everybody's time', revealing that two team members missed their flights because of the lengthy delay. 'I think even Max didn't know there was a protest even going on,' he said. 'So I don't know what was going on, what they were thinking.' Asked about Russell's contract situation, Wolff laughed. 'Don't spoil the evening!' he said. 'No, it's all on plan.'

Furious Hyrox competitors claim new carpet for world championships sled push this weekend 'sucked' and 'slowed them down'
Furious Hyrox competitors have cursed the carpet at a World Championships sled push race saying the floor on one 'dodgy' lane slowed them down. Competitors at the esteemed fitness competition complained this year's event in Chicago 'sucked' after organisers deployed new turf for the first time. Videos uploaded by athletes on social media showed them shouting angrily as they attempt to push a block of weights - to no avail. One racer, Ray Shah, demonstrated his slow progress on lane three before zooming down another aisle with an identical block of weights to prove his point. He complained on Instagram: 'How is this fair at the World Championships where they were using the new turf/carpet for the first time. 'This turf was to make sleds from it! 'It's disappointing when you train so hard for you to get a dodgy lane. 'My race today was ruined as the sled just wouldn't move when I got to sled push, I got through it but at a huge cost to energy. 'Hyrox needs to do better, looking like amateur hour.' The Hyrox event sees fitness fanatics complete a gruelling workout regime against the clock; while also providing the perfect backdrop for influencers to take selfies for social media. Hyrox combines running and functional workout stations, where participants, including celebrity clientele like Zoe Hague and Love Island's Molly Smith, run 1km, followed by a functional workout station, repeated eight times. Responding to Mr Shah's video, one person said: 'They will improve over time but this was quite a mistake.' But the fitness fanatic replied saying the event was 'eight years old' and so 'not exactly new'. Another person said: 'Hyrox needs to realise how much people spend to get here... the qualifying race, the travel, the hotels, the world's goes on and on. 'This is major time off, training time, financial output for everyone. 'This is insanely unfair to everyone participating.' Another competitor, Holly Archer, also shared a post. She said: 'Well!!! That was brutal, but also bloody brilliant! 'Going to get it out and say it like everyone else! F*** those carpets!!!! 'We got lane three on the sled push.. and seeing a lot of people struggle on that lane, we had a different lane for the pull and that was wayyy easier. 'I could not move the sled push in one direction. We were a minute slower on that station and that's normally my best station. They later barricaded the first five lanes off which is honestly really disappointing.' Responding to Ms Archer, fellow athlete Jonny Glen said: 'Congrats Holly! The sleds well and truly sucked.' Another competitor, Todd, said: 'We'll make sure we stay clear of lane three tomorrow!' Mr Archer responded to confirm 'faulty' lanes had now been shut. The Hyrox competition, which launched in Germany in 2017, bills itself as the fastest-growing of its kind in the world, with events now spanning across 11 countries, including the UK, America, and Shanghai. It has become a social media sensation since its inception eight years ago, with more than 650,000 athletes now taking part in 84 competitions across 25 countries. Participants alternate between eight one-kilometre runs and eight functional workout stations: 1000m of SkiErg, 50m of sled push, 50m of sled pull, 80m of burpee broad jumps, 1000m of rowing, 200m of farmer's carry, 100m of sandbag lunges and 100 wall balls. But despite building up an army of formidable spandex clad supporters raving about the fitness cult, a glamorous marketing campaign, and thousands of TikToks filmed at the event, there is also an unspoken downside. Attendees have suffered from heart attacks, seizures, and panic attacks during or shortly after taking part - but, as such medical emergencies don't make for appealing social media content, they are often glossed over in TikTok clips and Instagram reels. This means many people remain unaware of the potentially harmful consequences.
