Emma Raducanu has teamed up with Carlos Alcaraz for the revamped US Open mixed doubles, which starts tonight.

The British No1 joins forces with the reigning French Open champion for the event at Flushing Meadows that has $1m (£750,000) in prize money at stake for the winners.

Raducanu and Alcaraz face Jack Draper and Jessica Pegula in first round.

When are Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz playing?

The match opens the afternoon session, and the order of play details that proceedings will not get underway until 2pm local time, which is 7pm BST.

The day’s play on Arthur Ashe and Louis Armstrong Stadiums begins at 11am, with Naomi Osaka and Gael Monfils taking on Lorenzo Musetti and Caty McNally, and second seeds Taylor Fritz and Elena Rybakina facing Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori, the defending champions.

Should they progress into the second round, they could face either Novak Djokovic and Olga Danilovic, or the Russian pair Daniil Medvedev and Mirra Andreeva.

The second round is also taking place on Tuesday, after the opening round draws to a close. Start times for those matches will depend on when the first round finishes.
