Nick Kyrgios still in contention for US Open mixed doubles spot

·

Nick Kyrgios may still feature in the US Open’s revamped mixed doubles event despite not being included in the initial wildcard selections.

Organisers have announced qualifiers and six of the eight wildcard pairings, leaving two spots open, one of which could be reserved for Kyrgios pending fitness.

Kyrgios and Naomi Osaka, as well as fellow Australian Alex de Minaur and his fiancée Katie Boulter, were not among the announced pairings. However, both duos remain in contention for the remaining slots.

De Minaur, who just claimed his 10th ATP singles title at the Washington DC Open, is currently the highest-ranked male player (ATP No. 8) not included in the event.

The short-format mixed doubles competition, offering $1.5 million in prize money, is scheduled during Fan Week before the main draw and aims to boost fan and media engagement.

Kyrgios’ participation may depend on his recovery after returning to action last week in doubles with Gael Monfils. He later posted that his knee was “cooked,” though he completed the match.
