Elena Rybakina and Taylor Fritz joined forces to win the Eisenhower Cup.
Palm Springs success is a prelude to the pair reuniting for the US Open mixed doubles, Fritz said.
Meeting the media at the BNP Paribas Open today, Fritz said Rybakina is an ideal partner—and hopes they can run it back again at the US Open.
“I thought she played great last night. She did everything that I would, I guess, everything I could ask of a mixed doubles partner,” Fritz told the media in Indian Wells. “I think it’s a good fit. 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.”
If it happens, former Wimbledon winner Rybakina and US Open finalist Fritz would be the second high-profile pairing already…
