Occasional Digest - a story for you

Jack Draper reacts

Jack Draper has spoken following his mixed doubles win over Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu, along with partner Jessica Pegula.

I have got a pretty good partner.

What an experience playing out here with Jessica, playing Emma and Carlos, it doesn’t get any better than this.

Just a pleasure to be out here.

How to watch

The US Open is set to restart tonight.

The event resumed at 7pm ET, which is 12am BST.

Fans can watch it on ESPN and Sky Sports.

Djokovic tippeed for shock win

Novak Djokovic has been backed by iconic tennis coach Rick Macci to win the US Open, but only if a few things go his way.

Maci said of the Serb:”He can win the US Open because he still checks enough boxes.

“He has to make sure that he’s not playing four or five hours the other matches because you’ve got a day or whatever to get back and do it again.

“It’s the physical and mental toll that’s going to be tough on his body, but if the draw breaks the right way, or if Alcaraz or Sinner, something happens to them along the way…

“It changes the whole roadmap, the way you’re looking at this thing. He definitely could win the US Open, but those things have to happen.

“But if he has a lot of tough matches and then he has to go through both those guys, I think that’s kind of rough sledding.”

Novak speaks

Novak Djokovic took to X to express his delight at sharing the court with protege Olga Danilovic in their mixed doubles match with Daniil Medvedev and Mirra Andreeva.

He wrote on X: “Always fun playing mix doubles with Olga.

“Thank you@usopen for the WC opportunity to play.”

Womens seedings confirmed

The seedings for the women’s US Open have been confirmed.

Unsurprisingly, World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka is the top seed, with Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff being second and third seeds, respectively.

Pegula reacts to mixed doubles win with Draper

She said: “This stadium was packed, so thanks to everyone for showing up.

“That was such a fun atmosphere. Even if it meant a couple of highlight-reel shots by Carlos to get the crowd going, it was really fun.

“I’ve played doubles a lot. I haven’t played that much recently.

“So, it’s always tricky, especially going into a mixed format, playing against other people who don’t play a lot of doubles.

“It was a lot of fun. Jack played great. Excited to be back soon.”
