NEW YORK (AP) --- Serena Williams will team up with Carlos Alcaraz to create a
powerhouse mixed doubles pair in her return to the U.S. 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 U.S. 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.
