Katie Boulter and Alex de Minaur would like a US Open mixed doubles wild card "pretty, pretty please"

Room for one more?

The nearly-complete US Open mixed doubles field was released by the tournament this week with eight direct-acceptance teams and six wild cards, and the full field for the reimagined tournament doesn't disappoint. Direct-in pairs include Emma Navarro and Jannik Sinner, Iga Swiatek and Casper Ruud, and Jessica Pegula and Tommy Paul, while Venus Williams and Reilly Opelka, and Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu as wild cards.

But two of those discretionary spots are still to be announced before the two-day event kicks off on Aug. 19, and real-life couple Katie Boulter and Alex de Minaur, who got engaged in the offseason, would like one of those wild cards "pretty, pretty please."

The recently-crowned Washington champion asked nicely on social media on Wednesday, reposting the tournament's announcement on X and making the request with a praying hands and crying face emojis.

Earlier this year, the Aussie said that he would be interested in playing in the competition with Boulter despite having not played much doubles in the past. The couple competed with each other at Wimbledon two years ago, but de Minaur admitted that the polarizing innovations—which include shortening the format to four-game sets, truncating the draw, and overhauling the entry process—made a US Open mixed doubles debut appealing.

“If I'm looking purely at myself and the situation I'm in, it does present an opportunity for me to play mixed doubles, which in previous years I probably wouldn't have done just because as the format is right now for a singles player, you're not really going to play mixed doubles because your priority is obviously the singles,” he said during the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships.

“The way it's proposed now, it definitely entices a lot more of the singles players to play, and it's an opportunity.”

Your move, USTA!
