S Nizozemcem po boku Siniaková mix v All England Clubu ovládla a získala svůj celkově už jedenáctý grandslamový titul, zatímco jednatřicetiletý rodák z Amsterdamu se z nejcennější tenisové trofeje radoval vůbec poprvé.
Tenisová veřejnost tak logicky očekávala, že wimbledonští šampioni společně nastoupí i v New Yorku, obzvlášť poté, co si česko-nizozemská dvojice pochvalovala vzájemnou chemii na kurtu.
Vývoj událostí kolem Kateřiny Siniakové v mixu na US Open
Pořadatelé US Open však měli jiné plány. Vsadili na hvězdná jména, která září především v singlu a doplnili je třeba o americkou legendu Venus Williamsovou. O Verbeekově účasti tak řeč nebyla vůbec, Siniakovou organizátoři nejprve vzali na milost, aby ji pár hodin před startem soutěže na poslední chvíli vyšachovali kvůli odhlášení jejího partnera Jannika Sinnera.
„Je pozitivní, že mají fanoušci možnost vidět největší hvězdy na vlastní oči v akci. Během turnaje není jednoduché se na jejich zápasy dostat,“ prohlásil pro BBC Sport Verbeek.
A skutečně. Nový formát mixu tak ještě před startem dvouher naplnil hlediště Arthur Ashe Stadium, největšího tenisového kotle světa pro téměř 24 tisíc diváků. Jména jako Alcaraz, Djokovič či Šwiateková zkrátka táhnou.
„Nepřeju jim nic zlého ani nebudu aktivně fandit tomu, aby akce nebyla úspěšná, ale mé srdce deblisty krvácí,“ povzdechl si třiačtyřicátý deblista světa.
Wimbledonský šampion ze smíšené čtyřhry se tak ve Flushing Meadows představí alespoň v mužském deblu, kde by měl nastoupit se Švédem Goranssonem.

2025 Fantasy Draft Prep: Jamey Eisenberg’s bust case for everyone in Round 1
What could go wrong? That's the question you're asking right before you click the draft button in Round 1. You want to know how this player -- this potential stud -- is going to fail. Well, let's find out. I'm not a Debbie Downer, but that's the role I'm going to play here. We're going to make the bust case for every Round 1 player based on their CBS Sports average draft position in a PPR league following the second week of preseason action. And we're going to try and do this without factoring in injuries, although for some players, that's hard to avoid. Now, I'm not expecting all of these players to be busts since most of them are ranked in my first round. But maybe the reasoning on why they could fail will change your perspective, and you might […]

With Bill Belichick hire, ex-North Carolina coach Mack Brown notices massive changes for Tar Heels football
Until Bill Belichick makes his college football debut in the Sept. 1 opener against TCU, Mack Brown remains the last coach to lead North Carolina on the field in a regular-season game. The two-time Tar Heels head man said he sees differences in his old program in the short time he has been away, most notably with its investment, and that those changes will help Belichick hit the ground running in Year 1.Belichick's five-year, $50 million deal makes him one of the 10 highest-paid coaches in college football. In contrast, Brown's final contract at UNC paid him $5 million annually."Chancellor Lee Roberts is committed to football big-time for the first time in North Carolina history," Brown said on "The Herd with Colin Cowherd." "They are really wanting football to be good. They're all-in. That gives them a chance to be […]

NWSL Team of the Week: Chicago Stars’ Alyssa Naeher gets double honors with late-game heroics
The volume is cranked up on the second half of the 202 NWSL regular season. The weekend slate of matches offered multiple examples of the chaos NWSL matches can bring, with high-scoring draws and game-changing goals by goalkeepers as highlights during week 15. There are just 10 weeks remaining in the season, and the margins are getting narrower between teams, no matter the standings, so that means it's time for another NWSL Team of the Week by Attacking Third.Whether it's first-place Kansas City Current or 13th-place Chicago Stars FC, there are nine NWSL clubs represented on our week 16 team. After weekly fixtures across the 2025 NWSL campaign, Attacking Third analysts select a best XI, head coach, and honorary captain based on performances across the weekend.
