U.S. Open mixed doubles live updates: Latest after Djokovic, Sabalenka lose in first-round tiebreak
The star-studded U.S. Open mixed doubles competition is underway in Queens, N.Y.
Several past Grand Slam champions are competing in this yearโs tournament, but like last year, the singles stars are struggling against top doubles specialists, with Novak Djokovic/Aryna Sabalenka losing to Kateลina Siniakovรก/Henry Patten 4-2, 1-4, 2-10. Emma Navarro and Tommy Paul also knocked off the third-seeded pairing of Amanda Anisimova and Learner Tien.
The most anticipated duo of the tournament, Carlos Alcaraz/Serena Williams, will take the court later today, as will Italians Sara Errani/Andrea Vavassori, the two-time defending champions.
Teams play best-of-three sets to four games (until the final), with a 10-point tiebreak instead of a third set. There is no-ad scoring, which means a deciding point is played at deuce. Follow below for live news, updates and analysis on the matches.
