The US Open is introducing a revamped mixed doubles event featuring notable players like Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu. However, Coco Gauff will not participate as she focuses on her singles preparation. The event adopts a Fast 4 format during fan week, aiming to enhance fan engagement. The decision to exclude Gauff raised eyebrows given the $1 million prize for winning teams, but her commitment to singles competition takes precedence at this critical stage of the tournament season.
For me personally, I most likely won't be participating just because it's not a great time for me. I just think it will take away from the preparation for US Open.
The Fast 4 format (with each set being of 4 games instead of 6) will be played during the fan week at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
