Controversial tennis star Danielle Collins taunted Carlos Alcaraz as she sent a message to 2021 US Open champion Emma Raducanu. Alcaraz and Raducanu joined forces in the US Open mixed doubles earlier this week but failed to get past the first hurdle as they were defeated by Jack Draper and Jessica Pegula in their opening match.

Andrea Vavassori and Sara Errani were formidable as they took out Taylor Fritz and Elena Rybakina in the first round of the US Open mixed doubles event.

Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori retained their US Open mixed doubles title on Wednesday, beating Iga Swiatek and Casper Ruud 6-3, 5-7, 10-6 in the final of a controversial new-look competition that kicked off action at the last Grand Slam of the year.
