Novak Djokovic and Aryna Sabalenka will form a mixed doubles partnership at the 2026 US Open, shaping up to be one of the most anticipated attractions of the tournament.
The announcement comes after last year's controversial mixed doubles reform, which shortened the format compared to previous years. Djokovic, 38, and Sabalenka, world No. 2, are joining forces to create one of the most high-profile teams in recent competition history.
For Djokovic, this marks a return to mixed doubles after several years, while Sabalenka has already proven her adaptability across all surfaces and situations. Their partnership promises entertainment and could draw unprecedented media attention to mixed doubles.
