Indian Wells Mixed doubles fan event winner Taylor Fritz and Elena Rybakina stay true to their promise to play the US Open together
Similar to the US Open format, some of the top players on tour featured in the mixed doubles fan event at the BNP Paribas Open this year. Taylor Fritz and Elena Rybakina had the last laugh and took home a healthy prize money after winning the event.
When asked about Rybakina as a partner, Fritz spoke about their effortless coordination as a team.
"Yeah, I thought she played great last night. She did everything that I would, I guess, everything I could ask of a mixed doubles partner. I think it's a good fit," Taylor Fritz said.
The American also requested the Kazakh to join him at the US Open as a team, to which she agreed in Indian Wells.
"Yeah, I asked her to play because I was looking for a US Open mixed partner, and she said that she wants to. She just has to check, I guess, with her team and everything. Hopefully it gets cleared (smiling)," he added.
Fritz and Rybakina are expected to be among the seeded teams at the mixed doubles event in the US Open this year. The American also recently won the Boss Open in Stuttgart.
