The couple that plays together stays together.<\/p>\n

Alex de Minaur calls playing mixed doubles with fianc\u00e9 Katie Boulter at Wimbledon one his career highlights.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s one reason why the Washington, D.C. champion is making the case to the USTA for a wild card for he and Boulter into this month\u2019s US Open Mixed Doubles.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, a hundred percent. I mean, look, I think we\u2019re doing our best to put a really good case forward to hopefully get that wild card,\u201d de Minaur told the media in Toronto today after edging Frances Tiafoe for his seventh straight win. \u201cYeah, I mean, one of the most enjoyable moments I\u2019ve had on a tennis court was playing Wimbledon mixed doubles with her.\u201d<\/p>\n

The USTA released the current roster of teams for the new US Open Mixed doubles tournament, which will be staged for the first time during fan week, the week before singles main-draw play begins.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a look at the teams currently set to play:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There are currently two open spots remaining and de Minaur is hoping he and Boulter will be given a wild card to fill one of them.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was pretty damn cool [to play with Boulter], so I would love to go back and, yeah, play again,\u201d de Minaur said today. \u201cAnd to play such an exciting event with the world\u2019s best tennis players would be pretty cool. So hopefully they give us a chance to do that, and I don\u2019t know, I mean, yeah, I\u2019m keeping my fingers crossed.\u201d<\/p>\n
