Overview

• Scheduled for August 19 and 20 during Fan Week, the tournament will be played on Arthur Ashe Stadium and Louis Armstrong Stadium before the singles draw.
• The draw comprises 16 pairs, with the top eight teams by combined singles ranking securing direct acceptance after the July 28 entry deadline and eight wildcard entries.
• The field features nine men’s and nine women’s top-10 singles players in partnerships such as Emma Raducanu with Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic with Olga Danilovic.
• Matches use a condensed format of best-of-three short sets to four games, no-ad scoring and a 10-point match tiebreak instead of a full third set, while the final adopts six-game sets.
• The $1 million winners’ purse marks an $800,000 increase from last year, though some established doubles specialists have criticized the event as a “pseudo-exhibition” that devalues traditional doubles.
