Jack Draper has expressed his feelings after his fellow countrywoman, Emma Raducanu, decided to partner Carlos Alcaraz at the US Open. This year’s fourth Grand Slam will be played differently.

Emma Raducanu will team up with French Open champion Carlos Alcaraz in the mixed doubles at the US Open, with a prize of $1 million (£741,000) on offer for the winners. The new doubles team – who can expect to be given a portmanteau nickname of either “Alcaranu” or “Raducaraz” – are one of several eye-catching partnerships set to make their debuts in New York in August.
