Serena Williams will join forces with Carlos Alcaraz to form a blockbuster mixed doubles pair in her return to the US Open.
The US Tennis Association announced on Saturday that Williams and Alcaraz had been handed a wild card for the year's final Grand Slam. The mixed doubles main draw begins Tuesday.
It will be the 44-year-old's first time playing at the US Open since 2022. The 23-time Grand Slam singles champion returned to tennis earlier this summer.
Williams is yet to confirm if she will play in the singles in New York but the USTA is still holding one wild card if six-time champion wants to compete.
Williams played singles at Wimbledon and doubles with older sister Venus at the Cincinnati Open.
Alcaraz, meanwhile, announced this week he would return to defend his US Open singles title after being sidelined since April with a right wrist injury.
