US Open 2025: Five shocking mixed doubles pairs who will be in action

Carlos Alcaraz will team up with Emma Raducanu at the US Open 2025 mixed doubles tournament.
The US Open 2025 is scheduled to take place from August 24 to September 7, later this year. While the fans set their eyes on the singles competitions, the mixed doubles event this year is also set to become impossible to skip. The event will feature veterans such as Novak Djokovic and Venus Williams, as well as young stars like Jannik Sinner and Mirra Andreeva.
The star-studded line-up of matches at Flushing Meadows will be announced soon, and it will be a treat for all the fans. Nevertheless, before the schedule, let’s take a look at the five surprising pairs fans can see at the US Open 2025.
Shocking mixed doubles pairs-
5. Elena Eybakina and Taylor Fritz
Elena Eybakina and Taylor Fritz could be crowned as the champions at Flushing Meadows later this year. Both of them prioritise physical strength while playing, and the duo won the Indian Wells mixed doubles exhibition tournament earlier this year.
Nevertheless, the stakes will be higher in the United States, as other players have also framed partnerships with different stars for the Grand Slam.
4. Jannik Sinner and Emma Navarro
While Jannik Sinner won the 2025 Wimbledon, Emma Navarro also managed to stay in the second week of the Grand Slam by reaching the Round of 16. Navarro has teamed up with Ben Shelton and Reilly Opekla and also has a title to her name, the 2021 Atlanta Open.
Meanwhile, the mixed doubles event is going to be new for the reigning champion at Flushing Meadows. Meanwhile, Reilly Opelka will team up with tennis veteran Venus Williams.
3. Iga Swiatek and Casper Ruud
While Casper Ruud missed the grass season, Iga Swiatek won the 2025 Wimbledon Championships. Following the win, Ruud took to social media to congratulate the Polish player on her new achievement.
Nevertheless, the two, who clashed against each other in the United Cup during the game between Norway and Poland, will team up to face other pairs at the 2025 US Open.
Iga Swiatek would be looking forward to capturing a doubles title following her success in the Wimbledon Championships, while Casper Ruud would aim to regain his form at Flushing Meadows.
2. Paula Badosa and Jack Draper
Former WTA World No. 2 Paula Badosa is set to team up with Briton Jack Draper for the 2025 US Open Mixed Doubles events.
The Spanish tennis star was expected to team up with her former boyfriend, Stefanos Tsitsipas, at the Grand Slams. However, she has decided to choose last year’s Flushing Meadows semi-finalist, Jack Draper, as her partner.
1. Mirra Andreeva and Daniil Medvedev
Mirra Andreeva and Daniil Medvedev will team up at the 2025 US Open with the hopes of a title. Both tennis stars have been barely involved in doubles action, as they are primarily singles players. Additionally, they also have different playing styles, which would make their duo exciting to watch.
They played alongside each other at the 2024 Paris Olympics, but they failed to make it to the second round. After heading out with a first-round defeat, Andreeva and Medvedev are keen on returning to the court and completing their redemption.
Why are Elena Rybakina and Taylor Fritz considered strong contenders for the mixed doubles title?
Elena Rybakina and Taylor Fritz are known for their powerful playing styles and have already proven their compatibility by winning the Indian Wells mixed doubles exhibition earlier in 2025. Their prior success and physical dominance make them potential title favorites at the US Open.
What makes the pairing of Iga Swiatek and Casper Ruud unique?
Both are top-tier singles players with little doubles exposure, but they share mutual respect and chemistry, as seen in past United Cup encounters. Swiatek comes in with momentum after winning Wimbledon, while Ruud is seeking a strong comeback after skipping the grass season.
Why did Paula Badosa choose Jack Draper over Stefanos Tsitsipas as her mixed doubles partner?
While fans expected Paula Badosa to pair with her former boyfriend Tsitsipas, she chose Jack Draper, likely due to his strong performance at last year’s US Open where he reached the semifinals. The decision hints at a strategic choice focused on form rather than familiarity.
What’s the story behind Mirra Andreeva and Daniil Medvedev’s partnership?
Andreeva and Medvedev previously partnered at the 2024 Paris Olympics but were knocked out in the first round. Despite their contrasting styles, they are teaming up again at the US Open in hopes of redemption and a stronger showing on home turf.
