Serena not in US singles, will pair with Alcaraz
NEW YORK -- Serena Williams will team up with Carlos Alcaraz to create a powerhouse mixed doubles pair in her return to the US Open.
The U.S. Tennis Association announced Saturday that Williams and Alcaraz had been given a wild card into the tournament. The mixed doubles main draw begins Tuesday.
It will be Williams' first time playing at the US Open since 2022. The 23-time Grand Slam singles champion returned to tennis this summer.
Alcaraz announced this week he would return to defend his U.S. Open singles title after being sidelined since April with a right wrist injury.
