BRITISH No.1s Emma Raducanu and Jack Draper will go head to head for the first time at the US Open today.

Raducanu has formed a blockbuster partnership with five-time Grand Slam champion Carlos Alcaraz for the revamped mixed doubles tournament in New York.

The former US Open singles champions will face Draper and his partner, WTA No.4 Jessica Pegula (circle), in the first round on Arthur Ashe Stadium. World No.5 Draper will be making his first appearance since Wimbledon after an arm injury kept him out of the Masters 1000s in Canada and Cincinnati.
