US Open 2025 mixed doubles: Emma Raducanu & Carlos Alcaraz sign up to new-look Grand Slam event Britain's Emma Raducanu and Spain's Carlos Alcaraz are among the pairings planning to play in the new-look US Open mixed doubles event.

Entry list for US Open mixed doubles is packed with stars. Should be a fun event. But this is an exhibition tournament with fun rules (short sets & games) & only 1 specialist doubles team. Let’s not pretend it is a serious slam doubles event. @tennispodcast.bsky.social

Women’s tennis is hugely supported - a full house at @hsbcbank.bsky.social Championships final in London today, following packed crowds all week. A lesson for @rolandgarros.com - schedule the women matches properly and crowds will come. @tennispodcast.bsky.social @thetennisletter.bsky.social

β€˜It’s extremely triggering, painful and disappointing to have a Tournament Director, former WTA player and No.1 in the World basically slapping women’s tennis in 2025. It’s horrendous to hear …She threw women’s tennis under the bus. It was horrible.’

β€œI can not believe that you are up at 3.00am watching tennis” a tired Meadow thinks. β€œ Hang on, though, is that Emma Raducanu playing so well - now I get it!”

New Zealand fires UK envoy Phil Goff over Trump comments Phil Goff asked if Trump

I get that diplomatic protocols/political relations probably meant that New Zealand PM had little choice and had to fire the NZ senior diplomat to the UK. But, huge credit to Phil Goff for speaking the truth and calling President Trump out on his appeasement to Russia.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

The US Open has announced a complete revamp of the mixed doubles. Played in the week before the US Open proper starts, over only 2 days with only 16 teams playing shortened matches. This is a set of woeful decisions. All for money. A disgrace. @tennispodcast.bsky.social @thetennisletter.bsky.social

Top players can absorb extreme paced, deep shots by returning on one knee, but I have never seen a player going down on both knees and hitting the ball back (and winning the point!). Extraordinary skill by Iga Swiatek.

Picture of a Ukrainian soldier with mud on his face with a Time-magazine style caption that reads β€œPerson of the Year, Ukrainian Defenders.”

Picture of a Ukrainian soldier with mud on his face with a Time-magazine style caption that reads β€œPerson of the Year, Ukrainian Defenders.”

Mindset reset:

Right now, brave Ukrainians are defending their land & loved ones, at the cost of their sanity, limbs & lives. It’s an existential fight for their democracy & way of life.

If the Russians lose, they go home. If the Ukrainians lose, they will be overrun & destroyed.

Sad to see that Goran is no longer Elena Rybakina’s coach - only lasted about a month. This is a worrying sign for her career.

Credit to Australian Open in standing by their commitment to equal number of men’s and women’s matches on main show courts. But they more often get the worse slots. And this is a new low - β€œlet’s just get the women’s matches out of the way”. AO must do better.

Marta Kostyuk continues to speak out, clearly stating her views regarding @wtatour.bsky.social and ATP continued support for Russian and Belarusian players.

More understanding of what Ukrainian players are going through and greater support is needed.

Great to see a record (in the Open era) 6 British players through to round 2 of the Australian Open. All have tough next rounds, but the best of luck to Emma, Katie, Harriet, Jodie, Jack and Jake.

The Australian Open makes dreadful scheduling decisions. On day 2 they have kept up their record by putting the 5 times grand slam (2nd most slams of active players after Djokovic) & reigning French Open champion on 3rd court. Awful. @tennispodcast.bsky.social

Trump is not even bothering to pretend to hide his bullying tactics. I fear the next 4 years are going to be worse than many feared.

Translation: Nigel Farage is not racist enough for Elon Musk.

That really does say a huge amount about the world’s richest and most misguided man

I was really positive about Elana Rybakina making a significant change by parting with her long term coach, Stefano Vukov and appointing Goran Ivanisovic. We clearly do not know what relationships are like, but this move does not feel good.
