US Open Mixed Doubles: How Alex Eala Can Win the Match
US Open Mixed Doubles — August 25, 2026
The US Open has produced a fascinating first-round matchup between Alex Eala and Felix Auger-Aliassime and the experienced husband-and-wife combination of Elina Svitolina and Gaël Monfils.
This is not simply a battle of four talented singles players. Mixed doubles is a different tactical sport: points are shorter, positioning becomes critical, the return is heavily targeted, and the ability to make the correct decision under pressure can determine the match.
