US Open mixed doubles LIVE!
Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu united in an unlikely partnership this evening as the revamped US Open mixed doubles event got underway at Flushing Meadows, but they were bested by the top seeds Jack Draper and Jessica Pegula in a thrilling first-round match on Arthur Ashe Stadium. The star-studded draw has seen a real shake-up this year with most of the sport’s elite lured into taking part, with the tournament moved to ‘fan week’ - half a week before the singles draws commence - in order to allow ample recovery time before the players bid for the final Grand Slam title of the year.
