Overview
- Swiatek confirmed Monday on Instagram that she will skip the US Open mixed doubles to rest and fully prepare for the singles tournament.
- Casper Ruud has been reported to pair with Diana Shnaider after Swiatek’s withdrawal, but tournament organisers have not yet finalised or publicly confirmed all draw replacements.
- Swiatek’s decision follows a busy hard-court stretch in which she won the Canadian Open and reached the Cincinnati semi-finals, and she currently sits at world number eight for seeding at the US Open singles.
- The mixed-doubles event runs on August 25–26, which gives players only a few days to recover before the singles main draw begins and helps explain why top players are weighing participation against singles preparation.
- The revamped, star-focused mixed-doubles field has already seen other late changes and organisers face more short-term logistics and pairing shifts that could affect matchups and player recovery at Flushing Meadows.
