Date:

Naomi Osaka funnily suggested she has a hard time accepting that she is now considered “a Tour veteran” after it was announced that she and Nick Kyrgios would be making their mixed doubles debut at this year’s US Open. 

For this year’s US Open edition, a special mixed doubles tournament is planned titled “The US Open Mixed Madness.” The exhibition event at Flushing Meadows is slated to take place on August 20th at Arthur Ashe Stadium, six days before the final Grand Slam tournament of the year starts. 

But before the main action starts, fans will have a chance to see four star mixed doubles compete at Flushing Meadows. For their rivals Osaka, 26, and 29-year-old Kyrgios will have Coco Gauff, 20, and 21-year-old Ben Shelton, as well as Paula Badosa and Stefanos Tsitsipas & Aryna Sabalenka and Taylor Fritz.
