Naomi Osaka announced on Twitter that she wants to play mixed doubles at the US Open but there is a twist.
The four-time Major singles champion has participated in women's doubles at a few Slams, but she has not yet participated in mixed doubles.
"I kinda want to play mixed doubles in US Open cause I’ve never played a full match in my life but I’m also very afraid of letting my partner down."
The 24-year-old was scheduled to compete in mixed doubles at Wimbledon this year, but she was forced to withdraw due to an injury. In response to Osaka's remark, Kim Clijsters, a fellow four-time Major champion, urged her to play mixed doubles and cited the sport's enormous pleasure factor.

- A lot of top players with injuries now. Could be a coincidence. Still we have a lot of big tournaments in 4/5 months.
AceOfBase06-05-2024 - Iga never gets an easy draw in any tournament she plays. So that statement is far from the truth. Sabalenka has difficulty because all she wants to do is stand up and serve. She is not a tennis player. If she gets the opponents Iga have, she would be ousted earlier.crissy06-05-2024
