Raducanu and Draper face each other in US Open doubles

British number ones Emma Raducanu and Jack Draper will partner with different players for this week's US Open mixed doubles event in New York. Raducanu will team up with Carlos Alcaraz, while Draper will play alongside Jessica Pegula. Organizers faced criticism for scheduling the mixed doubles event before the singles tournament, with 16 pairs competing for a $1 million prize at Flushing Meadows. The tournament features a new format with shorter sets and tie-breaks.
