Carlos Alcaraz and Janic Sinar – the two top players in the men’s game – did not enter.
Spain’s seven-time major champion Alcaraz, who played Britain’s Emma Raducanu at Flushing Meadows last year, is still recovering from a wrist injury and is unsure when she will return.
Italy’s Ciner – who won her fifth major at Wimbledon last month – did not play in last year’s event and has withdrawn from the upcoming Canadian Open to “prioritise” her health.
Serena Williams hasn’t made it yet. The 23-time major singles champion made her comeback at Wimbledon last month but suffered a knee injury that ruled her out of a planned doubles appearance with older sister Venus.
But the announcement of the first wave of entries doesn’t mean Williams won’t play — nor does it guarantee that those who have already signed up will participate.
When the entry window closes on August 17, the six teams with the best combined singles ranking will be accepted directly into the main draw.
Eight teams will be awarded wildcards, with the final two spots determined by an eight-team qualifier on August 24.
