Novak Djokovic and Aryna Sabalenka have confirmed they will compete as a mixed doubles pair at the upcoming U.S. Open. The duo headlines an initial field of 16 teams for the tournament, which underwent significant structural changes last year.
The revamped mixed doubles championship features a $1 million prize pool and includes a notable roster of participants. Among the other entries are defending champions Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori, as well as Iga Swiatek, Casper Ruud, and Naomi Osaka.
While the event has attracted several high-profile players, other top-ranked stars have opted out of the competition. Neither men's world No. 1 Jannik Sinner nor second-ranked Carlos Alcaraz have entered the field.
