Among the pairings set to challenge back-to-back defending champions Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori for the $1 million in prize money are Aryna Sabalenka and Novak Djokovic, Serena Williams and Carlos Alcaraz, and Taylor Townsend and Alexander Zverev.
Though Jack Draper and Emma Raducanu, who competed in last year's mixed doubles, are set to miss the grand slam due to injury, there is British representation with Lloyd Glasspool and Henry Patten both through qualifying.
