Monfils Replaces Kyrgios for US Open Mixed Doubles
As the start of the US Open mixed doubles (August 19-20) approaches, many pairs have faced last-minute changes.
Following the withdrawals of Badosa and Navarro, Draper and Sinner had to find new partners. Pegula will now team up with the Brit, while Siniakova (world No. 2 in doubles) will pair with the world No. 1.
The Pegula-Draper duo will face the star pair of this edition, Alcaraz and Raducanu. Meanwhile, the Sinner-Siniakova pair will make their debut against Bencic and Zverev.
However, this isn’t the only change to note. Indeed, Kyrgios, who has been struggling physically for several months now, has also decided to withdraw from the draw. His original partner, Osaka, will now team up with the French showman, Gaël Monfils.
The new Osaka-Monfils pairing will begin their campaign against the team of McNally and Musetti.
