Serena Williams and Carlos Alcaraz Triumph in Mixed Doubles at US Open

Serena Williams made her comeback at the US Open on Tuesday, winning her mixed doubles match alongside Carlos Alcaraz. The duo faced Erin Routliffe and Lloyd Glasspool, securing a victory with scores of 5-3, 4-1 in the first round.

Despite a slow start where they lost the first two games, Williams and Alcaraz rallied to win the match in front of an enthusiastic crowd at Arthur Ashe Stadium. This marked Williams' first match at the US Open since 2022 and Alcaraz's first since April 14, following a wrist injury.

As the match progressed, Alcaraz regained his form, contributing significantly to their win. The pair will now advance to face Belinda Bencic and Flavio Cobolli in the quarterfinals, with the winners set to compete for a $1 million prize in the semifinals.
