US Open: Iga Świątek/Casper Ruud vs. Jessica Pegula/Jack Draper. Live coverage and results.

First, it's worth noting that the format of this year's mixed doubles tournament at the US Open is quite unique. Exceptionally, it's being held during Grand Slam qualifying week, rather than during the singles tournament. This was intended to enhance its prestige and encourage the world's biggest tennis stars to participate in the mixed doubles tournament.

Matches have a shorter format. Matches are played to two sets, with each set being played to four games. If the score is 40-40 in a game, the next point is the deciding factor. If the score is 4-4 in games, a classic tie-break is played. A possible third set is a super tie-break, which is played to 10 points, with a two-point difference. Only in the final will sets be played to six games.

The Pole and the Norwegian have won two matches on American courts so far. In both matches, they lost a total of three games each. In their opening match at the US Open, they defeated the American duo of Madison Keys and Frances Tiafoe. Later, they defeated the American-Italian pair of Caty McNally and Lorenzo Musetti.

Now, Światek and Ruud face another challenge. It's worth noting that Pegula and Draper are the tournament favorites. Will the Pole and Norwegian manage to spring a surprise?
