Djokovic-Sabalenka Exit as Svitolina-Monfils Reach US Open Mixed Doubles Semifinals
At the US Open mixed doubles, top-seeded Novak Djokovic and Aryna Sabalenka were eliminated in the first round by Henry Patten and Katerina Siniakova, who won in a match tiebreak. Meanwhile, married couple Elina Svitolina and Gael Monfils advanced to the semifinals after defeating the same pair. The mixed doubles event, held before the singles main draw for the second year, features a smaller draw and aims to attract elite singles players, though it has faced some criticism from doubles specialists.
