The tennis world awaits a sensation. Alcaraz to play in an incredible duo at the US Open
Carlos Alcaraz and Serena Williams will join forces in the mixed doubles draw at the US Open. Tournament organizers have announced this sensational pairing, set to hit the court next Tuesday or Wednesday.
For Alcaraz, competing in the mixed doubles will be part of his preparation for a return to top-level tennis. The Spaniard has been sidelined for about four and a half months due to a wrist injury, but he has already confirmed his participation in the US Open, where he will defend his title.
Alcaraz previously played mixed doubles at the US Open last year, partnering with Emma Raducanu. Now, his new partner will be one of the greatest tennis players in history.
Serena Williams, who retired from professional tennis after the 2022 US Open, has made a surprising decision to return to the court this year. She has already played doubles in Queen's and Berlin, and then received a wild card into the singles draw at Wimbledon. There, the American lost in the first round to Australia's Maya Joint.
Serena's most recent match was just a few days ago, when she teamed up with her sister Venus in Cincinnati, where they were defeated in the first round.
