The US Open mixed doubles tournament has undergone a major overhaul this year, the tournament will be played a week before the singles open, and the prize money for the champion has skyrocketed from $200,000 last year to $1 million, but the details have attracted positive and negative opinions after being announced, which will have a certain impact on the doubles players, and the American star Taylor Fritz, who originally focused on the singles field, said a few days ago, "I think I have a high chance of participating in mixed doubles this year." ”

The U.S. Open changed the 32 sets of mixed doubles events to 16 seats, of which 8 groups are determined by the singles rankings, and the other 8 groups are wild cards, and the first round is played in 3 sets and 4 games, until the championship game resumes the original format, and the match is condensed into 2 days.

Men's Singles world No. 4 Taylor Fritz said: "To be honest, I think I have a good chance of playing in mixed doubles this year, for me it's a good time, it's going to be exciting, and a lot of people are looking forward to it, and I've always enjoyed playing mixed doubles. ”

Taylor Fritz thinks that the reform will make him more willing to participate, "I think it's a good change, I might be a little biased because it's an opportunity for me to benefit, and if it was held after the main draw and during the singles tournament as I used to, I definitely wouldn't be there." ”

Taylor Fritz admits that this reform will inevitably impact the doubles players, "I feel sorry for them, but at the end of the day, the mixed doubles tournaments didn't give much to the Grand Slams and didn't create the excitement to fill the crowd, and I know it's not all about money or spectators, but the spectators should be more excited to see more high-ranked singles players in the mixed doubles." ”
