Overview

• The U.S. Open released the final 16-team mixed doubles field and draw on Aug. 17, scheduling all matches for Aug. 19–20 on Arthur Ashe and Louis Armstrong Stadiums.
• Prize money is distributed with $1 million to champions, $400,000 to runners-up, $200,000 to semifinalists, $100,000 to quarterfinalists and $20,000 for round-of-16 exits.
• Matches through the semifinals will use short sets to four games with no-ad scoring and tiebreakers at 4–4 plus a 10-point match tiebreak, while the final shifts to standard six-game sets.
• Top seeds Jessica Pegula and Jack Draper drew wildcards Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu in round one, and world No. 1 Jannik Sinner now teams with Katerina Siniakova via a wild-card pairing.
• Star entrants playing Monday’s Cincinnati finals face a tight travel turnaround that may prompt late withdrawals or reserve-team substitutions.
