  "account": "The US Open mixed doubles tournament begins on Tuesday, August 25, at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Two high-profile teams taking part are Serena Williams and Carlos Alcaraz, and Aryna Sabalenka and Novak Djokovic. For each match, the winning team must secure three sets, with each set up for a win at four games. If both teams reach four games, the set is decided by a tiebreaker. In the event of a deuce in a game, the team that wins the following point claims the game. The final match will be a best-of-three-set affair, with each set to six games, and a 10-point tiebreak in case the score reaches six-all.\n\nTo watch the tournament, first-round matches will be broadcast on ESPN2 starting at 10 a.m. ET. Quarterfinal games will be shown on the same channel, with certain matches beginning as early as 11 a.m. ET. Louis Armstrong Stadium will host the quarterfinals and semifinals, with the latter two events commencing at 7 p.m. ET on August 26. Coverage will also be available on ESPN for the semifinals and finals.",
