Djokovic, Sabalenka tumble out of US Open mixed doubles
Doubles specialists Katerina Siniakova and Henry Patten recover from losing the opening set to win the decisive third-set tie-break.
Novak Djokovic and Aryna Sabalenka were eliminated from the US Open mixed doubles tournament on Tuesday by Katerina Siniakova and Henry Patten. The Czech and British pair, ranked No 1 in women's and men's doubles respectively, overcame Djokovic and Belarusian Sabalenka's early advantage to claim the third set tie-break 10-2. Despite taking the first set, the Serbian and Belarusian stars were unable to keep up as Siniakova and Patten's form improved in the second set.
Djokovic and Sabalenka, representing a heavyweight mixed doubles pairing at Arthur Ashe Stadium, will not advance beyond the quarter-finals after suffering defeat. Other mixed doubles matches continue, with Carlos Alcaraz and Serena Williams set to play in a later first round game. The US Open's mixed doubles event precedes the main singles tournament, which begins on Sunday.
