The much-talked-about pairing of Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz fell to an early exit in the US Open’s mixed doubles competition on Tuesday, losing their first-round match and failing to win a set.

The much-hyped pairing of Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu was bounced in the first round of the new U.S. Open mixed doubles event on Tuesday.

Controversial tennis star Danielle Collins taunted Carlos Alcaraz as she sent a message to 2021 US Open champion Emma Raducanu. Alcaraz and Raducanu joined forces in the US Open mixed doubles earlier this week but failed to get past the first hurdle as they were defeated by Jack Draper and Jessica Pegula in their opening match.
