Williams and Alcaraz Light Up US Open Mixed Doubles Before Bowing Out to Power Pair

Serena Williams and Carlos Alcaraz delivered a high‑voltage mixed‑doubles showing at the US Open, rallying from 3–1 down to win their opening match in the revamped fast‑four format, then losing in their next outing to Belinda Bencic and Flavio Cobolli. Alcaraz’s lingering right wrist issue left his serve below peak and exposed some rust, but the on‑court chemistry and star power provided a blockbuster moment on a day dominated by singles stars in the tournament’s new doubles setup.

Gauff Extends Cincinnati Dominance, Sets Sights on US Open

Coco Gauff defeated Jessica Pegula 6-4, 6-2 to win the Cincinnati Open, her second title at the event in four years, losing only one set en route. The victory makes her the third-youngest player to win four consecutive WTA 1000 titles (younger than Serena Williams in this stat, though behind Hingis and Sharapova) and cements her status as a top US Open contender, with Iga Swiatek viewed as her main rival if form holds in New York.

Williams-Alcaraz land US Open mixed doubles wildcard

Serena Williams and Carlos Alcaraz will compete in the US Open mixed doubles after receiving a main-draw wildcard, marking Williams’ return to competition and Alcaraz’s return from a four-month wrist absence. The event runs Aug 24–26, ahead of the singles tournament, and features a field that includes notable pairings, with the format having been tweaked last year to include more singles stars, shorter sets and 10-point tiebreaks. Defending doubles champions Errani/Vavassori are the only doubles specialists to receive a main-draw wildcard, while others will go through qualifying or wildcard routes.

US Open ticket prices surge as stadium upgrades fuel premium seating and resale frenzy

Ticket prices for the U.S. Open have surged into premium territory as booming live-event demand, an active resale market, and an $800 million renovation of Arthur Ashe Stadium push more seats into courtside, club, and other premium areas. Face values remain far below secondary-market prices, with grounds passes selling for hundreds and courtside/club seats fetching thousands on resale. The renovation replaced many loge seats with premium options, boosting revenue while pricing out some fans, even as the USTA promotes Fan Week and accessibility initiatives to fund upgrades.
