💨 Abstract

"The U.S. Open's mixed doubles tournament has undergone significant changes, sparking controversy. The event now features top singles players instead of dedicated doubles specialists, with a $1 million prize. Critics like Sara Errani argue this diminishes the doubles sport, while organizers, like Stacey Allaster, see it as a way to boost tennis's popularity. The format changes include altered scoring rules and fewer matches. Top pairings include Alcaraz-Raducanu and Sinner-Siniakova."
