Carlos Alcaraz Breaks Silence on Emma Raducanu as Jessica Pegula Tests $1 Million US Open Bid

The US Open organizers drew criticism after announcing that the mixed doubles would be a standalone event nearly a week before the singles tournament. “Making decisions just following the logic of profit is profoundly wrong in some situations,” last year’s winners Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori said in response to the revamp. However, things have moved forward, and the newly crowned Cincinnati champ, Carlos Alcaraz, broke his silence about the upcoming million-dollar tournament.

Alcaraz was determined to get the win against Jannik Sinner after the Italian handed him a heartbreaking loss at Wimbledon. And while the Spanish superstar may not have won the title in the way he did, he’s putting it behind him for tomorrow’s contest. So when asked about his British partner, Emma Raducanu, the 2025 Cincinnati Open champion sounded enthusiastic.

“I’m going to have so much fun, you know, playing there, playing with Emma. It’s going to be tough, you know, against Draper and Pegula. But I will try to enjoy it as much as I can,” Alcaraz said about his round of six mixed doubles clash with Jack Draper and American Jessica Pegula. So despite the blacklash against the changes and the incredibly short turnaround, Alcaraz is excited.
