Glad to have helped make it much more interesting with my non inspired Wimbledon prediction

goldfish could very easily have got a lot more than 6 points with her prediction of 41 wins.

---

 I know, one win closer and she would have jumped to 15 pts and 40 overall!

 

Lots to predict for in the USO!

 

 

These are the 8 pairs into the USO mixed directly

8 direct acceptances into US Open mixed doubles:

Navarro/Sinner
Anisimova/Rune
Swiatek/Ruud
Rybakina/Fritz
Paolini/Musetti
Pegula/Paul
Andreeva/Medvedev
Keys/Tiafoe

8 wildcards at some later date from 16 other entries

Good to see that the defending champions, Errani and Vavassori have been given one of the wildcards.

So do the winners get the same trophy etc as in a conventional US slam mixed doubles or is this a new competition entirely?

---

 This is the US Open Mixed Doubles so should be the same trophy and a lot more money. Just less players, more focused on singles players, and a different scoring format (first to 4 games each set) and duration (over two days of play), and a different timing (week prior to US Open).

So it is completely different but for the same trophy and title. 

Jury well and truly out!

But given that it is for the same title and there are Brits in it, at least at the entry list stage, then we will include it as part of our predictions event as, well, why wouldnt we - it is just a different and alien feel, just for the same trophy

 Yes, nice to see some doubles players getting to compete in a doubles Slam tournament  Should have rather a good chance.

 With the defending champs in you'd hope that the other two wildcards might go to doubles pairs also. Erranie and Vavassori also won the French this year. 

Gadecki and Peers won the AO and Siniakova and Verbeek the Wimbledon title, maybe one or both of those could be contenders for the final WC places? 

As the US mixed takes place from the 19th August, Ill ideally put the predictions thread up this next day or two and close it 19th. Which seems very early and doesnt allow for qualies to take place or main draws to be published.

And is leaving me with a dilemma. Although Id prefer to include the mixed, it compromises the prediction contest for what appears to be two pairs , Jack + and Emma +.

Id be interested in views from others - basically, should we include the mixed and therefore have all predictions done by 19th; or shall we exclude this year for the USO and get predictions in for Sunday 24th when main draw singles play is due to start?

Im happy to be flexible on this so Id be keen to see if there are any other views. Ill leave off putting up a prediction thread until the weekend coming, to see what people think.
