Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz’s all-star partnership was brought to a premature end as they were beaten in the first round of the revamped US Open mixed doubles.

Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz were knocked out early from the 2025 US Open mixed doubles. Apart from the duo, there were multiple other high-profile players who bowed out early from the mixed doubles competition.

Certain tennis fans have spent the summer arguing that Carlos Alcaraz’s mixed-doubles partnership with Emma Raducanu was the US Open’s idea, and came about for commercial reasons, rather than being an organic arrangement between two old friends.
