The US Open mixed doubles tournament is returning for a second year, bringing a new-look event to the championships. Serena Williams and Carlos Alcaraz are among the notable figures reported to be joining forces for the competition, drawing attention ahead of the event.

Outlet coverage focuses on how fans can follow the matches. One report emphasizes broadcast and viewing details for the mixed doubles competition and highlights the pairing of Williams and Alcaraz as a headline attraction. Another focuses on access, noting that the event is available for viewers “for free,” while also pointing to the continued return of the mixed doubles format after its debut.

Together, the sources agree on the event’s second-year status and the involvement of Williams and Alcaraz, while differing primarily in the angle—one foregrounds where to watch, and the other stresses free viewing options.
