Williams and Alcaraz will open against Erin Routliffe and Lloyd Glasspool, who advanced through qualifying with two match tiebreaker wins.
- On Tuesday, Serena Williams and Carlos Alcaraz open their U.S. Open mixed doubles campaign against qualifiers Erin Routliffe and Lloyd Glasspool. This marks Williams' first appearance at the tournament since 2022.

- Top-Ranked doubles players Katerina Siniakova and Henry Patten replace the previously slated team of Aryna Sabalenka and Novak Djokovic in the highly competitive mixed doubles field. Their path remains challenging despite the roster adjustment.
