The main singles draw at the US Open does not start until this weekend but the mixed doubles are already well underway. The first round of matches took place last night with Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz teaming up on the court. They were dumped out in the very first round by Jack Draper and Jessica Pegula, who progressed to the semi-finals.

Andrew Castle believes Jack Draper could struggle at the US Open and has fired a sack warning to Emma Raducanu ’s new coach Francis Roig. Draper and Raducanu, the British No.1s in men’s singles and women’s singles respectively, are hoping to enjoy deep runs at Flushing Meadows.
