The revamped US Open mixed doubles event has certainly divided opinion since its announcement.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year it was announced that the US Open would be overhauling mixed doubles<\/a> to give priority to singles players.<\/p>\n

This was clear when the initial lineup was announced, featuring teams including Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu<\/a>, as well as Jannik Sinner<\/a> and Emma Navarro<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The US Open\u2019s decision has been criticised by last year\u2019s champions<\/a> amongst many others, and now the WTA<\/a> doubles world number one has revealed if she thinks she will be able to play the event.<\/p>\n

Katerina Siniakova is an 11-time Grand Slam champion in doubles and the current world number one, and has also won two Olympic<\/a> gold medals, one in women\u2019s doubles and her most recent in mixed.<\/p>\n

The Czech, who has been ranked as high as world number 27, has just won her first Grand Slam mixed doubles title at Wimbledon<\/a> alongside Sem Verbeek.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Following her latest major title victory, Siniakova spoke to Tennis Channel where she was asked about the US Open<\/a> mixed doubles event.<\/p>\n

Siniakova explained that she was unsure of whether she would be able to enter the tournament, admitting she would not be surprised to be snubbed from the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think I would give it a five (out of 10),\u201d Siniakova said when rating her chances of playing. \u201cI mean I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if I won\u2019t get it actually, so yeah I just keep it like this.\u201d<\/p>\n

The US Open mixed doubles event will feature 16 teams this year, with Holger Rune revealing the entry list closed at the end of June<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Despite being unclear of her participation status, Siniakova suggested she could have a partner lined up, but did not want to reveal who that would be.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh I\u2019m going to keep it a secret,\u201d added Siniakova. \u201cI don\u2019t want any troubles you know!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

US Open mixed doubles initial lineup <\/p>\n

The US Open certainly got the stronger lineup they were hoping for, with all but two of the top 10 singles players on both the ATP<\/a> and WTA Tours appearing in the initial list.<\/p>\n

One of the two missing from this lineup is Coco Gauff, who has explained why she is not playing<\/a> the event.<\/p>\n

Some players including Alcaraz<\/a> and Raducanu<\/a> will be making their Grand Slam doubles debut, while defending champions Andrea Vavassori and Sara Errani are the only doubles specialist pair appearing in this lineup.<\/p>\n

It remains unclear how much this lineup will change before the US Open mixed doubles event comes around.<\/p>\n
