What is the format of the US Open Mixed Doubles Championships?

Unlike previous years, the mixed doubles competition will headline the stadium courts – both on Arthur Ashe Stadium and Louis Armstrong.

The matches will consist of best-of-three set matches with shorter sets consisting of up to four games. There will be no-ad in games that reach a deuce score, meaning that the winner of the next point wins the game.

If both doubles partnerships have won four games in a set, a 10 point tie-break will be played instead of a third set. The first team to win 10 points, with an advantage of two or more points will win the match.

In the final, the format will change to a best-of-three set match with sets up to six games, no-advantage and a 10 point tie-break in lieu of a third set if the teams share the sets.
