USA expanded 2025 to start on August 24, but from now on, the organizers have achieved the goal of echo by introducing the completely new men's and women's doubles. During the two months, this event has caused a communication boom in the US, blowing a new breeze into a long forgotten content.

Right from mid -June, the idea of ​​innovation for the last Grand Slam of the year has begun to be discussed. Normally, in the US expanded, the content of men and women has 32 pairs, with mainly the double players. But this year, there will be only 16 pairs of competition on August 20 and 21. Not only small and fast - encapsulated in two days before the players switched to single fighting, this new format was also attractive for bonuses, with one million dollars for the championship. This reward is 5 times higher than the practices, and far exceeds both Wimbledon and Roland Garros. The runner -up received 400,000 USD, four times more than previous years. In the semi -finals, it will earn 200,000 USD, and the quarterfinals are USD 100,000. Couples eliminated in the 1/8 round still receive $ 20,000 to share.

to make it more attractive, the male and female match matches are designed shorter, more dramatic, in the three set formats and each set consists of only 4 games, does not use the advantage, tie-break takes place when the ratio is 4-4, and a 10-point tie-break for the third set. Particularly, the final will play in the format of the three sets of 6 games, still have no advantages, with tie-break at 6-6 and 10-point tie-break for the decision set. Of the 16 pairs of competition confirmation, the first 8 pairs were selected based on the total score of ATP and WTA of couples: 7 top men's players ATP and 4 women's players in the top 10 WTA, promising the top gathering between the best people from both systems. The remaining 8 pairs receive a special capacity, including the Italian CLC Sara Errani - Andrea Vavassori.

Carlos Alcaraz - Emma Raducanu. The British female player even had to explain at a press conference before Wimbledon about rumors of emotional rumors with Southern Spanish colleagues. Participate in male - female couple content. But he will pair with Katerina Siniakova (Czech Republic) instead of Emma Navarro (USA) as the original plan. If winning, Raducanu - Alcaraz will reach the quarterfinals, and continue on the day with the briefcase from the match between Novak Djokovic - Olga Danilovic and Mirra AndraVa - Daniil Medvedev. The Katerina Siniakova - Jannik Sinner is located on the lower branch of the group and can only encounter Raducanu - Alcaraz in a fake final.

Until before the draw of the matches, the content of the American couple expanded to witness a series of names withdrawing and adjusting. Jasmine Paolini, who reached the final of Cincinnati, along with Grigor Dimitrov, Aryna Sabalenka, Alex de Minaur, Katie Boulter, Paula Badosa and Stefanos Tsitsipas are not involved. Pair with Naomi Osaka. The choice of Monfils seems to be the criteria of the organizers, by the veteran French tennis player with the style of performance and entertainment. Djokovic also participated, paired with compatriots Serbia Olga Danilovic..

Despite the media success and attract new audience groups by gathering stars, American sports aspects expand the content of men and women rated by experts as being overlooked. The 2025 male and female couple has the appearance of a flashy, more profitable show than a true Grand Slam. This caused specialized players to hit double, when they were on the margin. The Italian Sara Errani - Andrea Vavassori is the only pair of fighting this time. "When the two best double players were not invited, there was nothing left to say", she lamented to Canal+. Teammate and Siniakova won this year's Wimbledon champion, Sem Verbeek added: "The positive point is that the public will soon see top stars, when they can be more accessible. But the heart of a double tennis player like me is bleeding ".

Kristina Mladenovic, who is not invited despite possessing nine titles, including three men and women, also speaking out: "In terms of business strategy, this is a great idea, but the way the media is bad. Listening to the players say they will be happy, and considering this as the starting screen for the US to expand it is not a desire. Wish to win a Grand Slam, even in a double content. According to him, the organizers should claim that this is just a mixed performance before the expansion of the US.. In terms of entertainment, I want to see what it will be, when the fans seem to be very excited ".
