The US Open rolls out something new and electric this year with a revamped mixed doubles event starting August 19.

Ladbrokes breaks down the intriguing clash between Alcaraz/Raducanu and Draper/Pegula, now confirmed in the draw, with the latest odds and insights.
Raducanu & Alcaraz vs Draper & Pegula odds
The 2025 US Open mixed doubles draw serves up a blockbuster first-round tie as Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz take on Jack Draper and Jessica Pegula.
It’s a headline-grabbing pairing for Raducanu and Alcaraz, who are teaming up for the first time in what’s expected to be a short-term partnership. They’ll bring plenty of flair and court craft, but with no mixed doubles experience together, chemistry could be tested early.
Draper and Pegula look the more settled team on paper, with Pegula’s doubles pedigree and Draper’s lefty firepower giving them a solid base. They haven’t played together much either, with the two paired together after their previous partners dropped out. Their styles complement well, and there’s a bit more clarity about their roles from the outset.
Draper and Pegula enter the contest as favourites at odds of 8/15, with the bookies perhaps expecting their pairing to fare better than the glamour duo of Alcaraz and Raducanu.
The odds on a victory for Alcaraz and Raducanu is 13/10, with the price reflecting the uncertainty around how this exciting pairing on paper will turn out in practice.
Pegula and Draper are among the favourites to win the US Open Mixed Doubles outright at odds of 6/1, with Raducanu and Alcaraz not far behind at odds of 15/2.
