The Grand Slam king and world No. 1 queen will join forces in a US Open mixed magic doubles pairing.
Former No. 1 Novak Djokovic and Aryna Sabalenka headline a star-studded field for the 2026 US Open Mixed Doubles championship.
Former No. 1 Iga Swiatek and Casper Ruud, who were 2025 US Open Mixed Doubles runner-ups to Italians Sara Errani and Andrea Vavasorri, will reprise their partnership. Former Indian Wells champion Jack Draper and former US Open finalist Jessica Pegula are also slated to partner for the second straight year.
Lululemon ambassadors Leylah Fernandez, the 2021 US Open finalist, and two-time semifinalist Frances Tiafoe will play together for the first time.
“We were trying to think of different partners, maybe who I can message. Frances was definitely at the top of my list,” Fernandez said.
“When I first messaged him, I knew he was playing with Hailey, and it was unfortunate that she sustained an injury at Roland Garros, but yes, I was kind of waiting a little bit.
“I was also trying to look at different options, but Frances came back to me and said, Yeah, let’s do it, let’s play, and
hopefully we can do well. It’s going to be a great atmosphere. I know he loves the energy, and I love it, too. Hopefully we can go far.”
