Who's playing in the mixed doubles extravaganza?

In the Open era, Roger Federer, Pete Sampras and Jimmy Connors are tied with the most men's singles titles, with five.

Novak Djokovic will be hoping to get to that number this year; he is tied on four with Rafael Nadal and John McEnroe as he continues to chase a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam title.

Serena Williams and Chris Evert share the record for women's titles with six, ahead of Steffi Graf (five) and Martina Navratilova (four).

Carlos Alcaraz and Aryna Sabalenka are the respective reigning champions, though Emma Raducanu, Jannik Sinner, Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff are also recent winners.

Alcaraz will both show up to the US Open without having played in Canada or Cincinnati with Sinner pulling out injured .

Since the beginning of the Masters format in 1990, no man has ever won the US Open without playing at least one of these two events.

No! The British No 1 will miss the Grand Slam because of the stress fracture in her right leg that she sustained during the grass-court season and forced her to pull out of Wimbledon.

It has been a frustrating 12 months for Raducanu with more persistent physical issues.

The 2024 semi-finalist will miss this year's tournament as he continues to recover from bone bruising in his left arm .

The injury has been a blow for the 24-year-old, who has managed only a handful of tournaments since first stepping away from the tour a year ago with the same issue.

There will still be a strong British contingent in qualifying. In men's singles qualifying, stars of the summer Jacob Fearnley, Jack Pinnington Jones, Toby Samuel and Billy Harris are set to feature.

Meanwhile, on the women's side, Fran Jones - who recently won back-to-back WTA 125 titles - is a player to watch, with Dart, Katie Swan, Heather Watson and Jodie Burrage also in contention.

Qualifying starts from Monday 24 August.

Cameron Norrie will feature in the main draw at Flushing Meadows along with Britain's newest star Arthur Fery for the first time in his career after his remarkable run to the Wimbledon semi-finals as a wild card which has seen his ranking soar.

World No 1 Sabalenka will look to become the first woman to win three straight US Open titles since Serena Williams from 2012-14.

US Open boosts prize money to record-setting level

The US Open has announced another bumper increase in prize money for this month's tournament.

An overall prize fund of 108 million US dollars (approximately £80 million) is the biggest in the sport's history and represents a 20 per cent rise for the second consecutive year.

The winners of the singles trophies will each receive 5.5million dollars (approximately £4 million), while first-round prize money has been ramped up to more than £100,000.

Tournament organisers will hope they have done enough to stave off the type of player protests that took place at both the French Open and Wimbledon.

The US Open's prize money includes a 2million dollar (approximately £1.5 million) contribution to a new US Open player support programme.

New United States Tennis Association chief executive Craig Tiley, who recently moved from Tennis Australia, said: "This is a significant first step in a multi-year investment in athletes as the US Open continues to be the best economic opportunity for players and the most valuable platform in tennis for players, fans and partners.

"We are proud to deliver record-setting prize money and expanded player benefits as well as providing a new platform to work together with players."

Williams, 44, made her shock return to competition at Wimbledon, where she lost in three sets to Maya Joint before knee trouble forced her to pull out of doubles with her sister, Venus.

A wild card appearance at the Cincinnati Open alongside Venus allowed her to evaluate her knee before deciding to play in the Mixed Doubles Championship alongside Carlos Alcaraz, but she won't be taking part in the women's singles.

Pairing with Alcaraz marks Williams' competitive return to the US Open, at which she last played in 2022.
