Alcaraz & Agassi vs. Djokovic & McEnroe lights up Stars of the Open, Del Potro returns!

Past US Open champions and fans' favourites treated an Arthur Ashe crowd to superstar matchups and hilarious mic'd-up interactions during Wednesday evening's Stars of the Open at Flushing Meadows.

If bright smiles could have secured a victory, Carlos Alcaraz and Andre Agassi could have easily stated their case, but it was the pair of four-time US Open singles champions, Novak Djokovic and John McEnroe, who defeated the Spaniard-American duo 10-8 at the Fan Week exhibition. Italians Matteo Berrettini and Jasmine Paolini began the night by defeating Sebastian Korda and Iga Swiatek 11-9.

Home favourites Sloane Stephens and Frances Tiafoe closed the night with a 10-6 victory against actor Boris Kodjoe and Taylor Townsend.
