Raducanu, Swiatek and Tsitsipas among players to sign up to pre Indian Wells mixed doubles exhibition

Stefanos Tsitsipas, Emma Raducanu and Iga Swiatek have all signed up for the Eisenhower Cup, an exhibition event that is played ahead of the main event.

The event will take place on Marth 7th on the same courts where the Indian Wells is generally played and it will be a charity event format. The event will also feature mixed doubles matches so Emma Raducanu will be paired up with Cameron Norrie while Tsitsipas will play with Maria Sakkari. Swiatek will team up with Hubert Hurkacz just like at the United Cup earlier this year.

There will be plenty of other pairings as well as Aryna Sabalenka will play with Taylor Fritz, Leylah Fernandez with Felix Auger-Aliassime, Jessica Pegula with Tommy Paul, and Ons Jabeur with Casper Ruud. The event will consist of first-to-10-point tie-break matches rather than sets. Indian Wells director Tommy Haas is delighted about the Eisenhower Cup returning this year:

“We are thrilled that The Eisenhower Cup will return for a fourth time to serve as a meaningful charitable event to ring in two weeks of exciting action in Tennis Paradise. Tennis fans will be treated to the brightest stars of both tours pairing up for a fun and unique mixed doubles event."
