With a new format, in US Open Mixed Doubles, charges of gimmickry will be difficult to avoid
The mixed doubles events at major tennis tournaments have, over the years, become sideshows. The biggest players in the world do not play, audience and viewership numbers have dwindled, prize money (in relative terms) has stagnated, and the standard of competition has come down. The US Open's organisers may claim to have a solution. This year's revamped mixed doubles competition, which kicked off on Tuesday, is complete with a new format, a big increase in prize money, some of the top singles stars, controversy, and expectations. It is American tennis's big commercial bet of 2025. The US Open is making sure the big names play this week. The matches will be shorter and quicker — sets will go till four games, and there is no deuce. All this is likely to give the mixed doubles event an exhibition-like feel. The Open proved the perfect category to trial the new format. But there are riders to go with the promotional drive. There have been concerns about a major trophy being devalued as a mere commercial ploy — an oversized trailer for the major production a week later. Especially with the top doubles players finding little space among the singles stars loaded in the 16 teams. Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner's highly anticipated final in Cincinnati on Monday was a damp squib that saw the Italian World No 1 retire due to illness and miss out on the event in New York. Alcaraz, as well as women's champion Iga Swiatek, both showed up on Tuesday less than 24 hours after winning their tournaments, showcasing just how seriously the top names are taking the event. In order to truly make mixed doubles matter again, the bodies in charge of the game will have to emphasise its significance as a genuine sporting spectacle and retain its special character. As long as it stays a gimmick, it will be a swing and a miss, no matter how much money it makes.

Ashvir Singh Johal is first Sikh manager of UK pro football club Morecambe
Ashvir Singh Johal has become the first Sikh to coach a professional club in England after being named as first-team manager at fifth-tier Morecambe on Tuesday. Ashvir Singh Johal has also worked as an assistant to Cesc Fabregas during his time with the youth team at Italian side Como. The Shrimps, suspended over its failure to meet financial obligations, were taken over by investment group Panjab Warriors on Sunday, ending uncertainty over their future. Within hours of taking charge, the new owners sacked manager Derek Adams on Monday. At just 30, Johal has become the youngest manager in the top five tiers of English football. He completed his UEFA Pro Licence in June. 'He arrives at the Mazuma Mobile Stadium with an excellent reputation as a forward-thinking coach and leader, bringing a wealth of experience in player development, tactical innovation, and building high-performance cultures,' the club said. Despite having never previously managed at a senior level, Johal, who worked at Leicester City's academy for 10 years, was part of Kolo Toure's coaching team at Wigan Athletic in the Championship in 2022. He has also worked as an assistant to Cesc Fabregas during his time with the youth team at Italian side Como. 'His appointment marks an exciting new era for the Shrimps as the club continues its journey under fresh ownership and renewed ambition.' The club is yet to play a game in the National League this season after being suspended because of its failure to meet financial obligations, including failing to pay staff, and uncertainty about the ownership. Following the completion of the sale of the club by the Bond Group to London-based Panjab Warriors, that suspension has been lifted, meaning Johal can begin the task of trying to reverse the decline in the seaside town club's fortunes. 'The immediate priority right now is going to be to identify the players that we need in this building to ensure Morecambe Football Club can perform well in the National League,' he said. Morecambe are set to begin their season against Altrincham on Saturday after their opening two matches of the campaign were postponed due to doubts over their financial future.
