Explained: What is the US Open's new mixed doubles format and why is it facing criticism?

Firstpost  

The United States Tennis Association has announced a new mixed doubles format for US Open 2025 in a bid to draw participation from more prominent singles players. Going one step further, the USTA has now introduced a new mixed doubles format, in a bid to draw more prominent singles players into playing mixed doubles tennis. To attract singles players in mixed doubles competitions, the US Open organisers have introduced prize money worth $1 million as well as a new shorter format. “By restricting entry to singles-ranked players, the 2025 US Open Mixed Doubles effectively sidelines India from contention, denying millions of Indian fans the chance to see their country represented on one of tennis’ biggest stages,” he was quoted as saying by Sportskeeda.
