The second year of the US Open's reformatted mixed doubles is set to kickoff on Tuesday and will feature plenty of top talent.

There's more than just bragging rights at stake: The winning duo will take home a $1 million prize, higher than most prize purses for mixed doubles major tournaments.

The tournament will feature 16 teams competing across two action-packed days.

On Tuesday, both the first round and the quarterfinals will be held, followed by the semifinals and the highly anticipated championship match on Wednesday night.

Matches will follow a best-of-three format, similar to standard doubles events. However, due to the tight schedule, only four games are needed to win a set—except for the championship match, which uses the traditional format.

If a match goes to a third set, a 10-point tie-breaker will determine the winner.

Additionally, no advantage scoring will be used, making each deuce point a thrilling, winner-takes-all moment.

Top seeds Aryna Sabalenka and Novak Djokovic will face Leylah Fernandez and American crowd favorite Frances Tiafoe in a blockbuster first-round matchup.

Fans will also get to see other headliners such as 23-time Grand Slam singles champion Serena Williams teaming up with Carlos Alcaraz.

There are three exciting all-American duos: Amanda Anisimova and Learner Tien, Jessica Pegula and Taylor Fritz, and Emma Navarro and Tommy Paul.

Meanwhile, Gael Monfils and Elina Svitolina will take the court as a husband-wife team.

Sara Errani and Andrea Vassavori will be looking to defend their title, though the exceptionally talented field promises fierce competition.
