Australian Open rules out mixed doubles changes after US Open furore

Deccan Chronicle  

Melbourne: The Australian Open on Thursday ruled out following the US Open's move to radically overhaul the mixed doubles competition and play it before the main tournament starts. US tennis chiefs announced on Tuesday that mixed doubles at Flushing Meadows would become a standalone event in the week leading up to the main draw, with matches best of three sets, but played to just four games. Last year's US Open mixed doubles winners, Italian duo Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori, called the changes a "profound injustice". US Open organisers said the "groundbreaking" move was designed to entice more singles players to mixed doubles -- potentially limiting opportunities for doubles specialists.
