**NEW YORK, Aug 25 (Source Reporters)** — Married couple Elina Svitolina and Gael Monfils reached the semifinals of the US Open mixed doubles championship on Tuesday, joining Karolina Muchova and Jakub Mensik in the last four, according to ESPN and the WTA.
The Ukrainian-French pairing, who entered the revamped pre-tournament event with what Monfils described as "zero expectations," advanced through Tuesday's rounds at Flushing Meadows ahead of the main singles draw, which begins this week. Exact match scores from Tuesday's ties were not confirmed at the time of writing — **Unverified**.
Muchova of the Czech Republic and Mensik of the Czech Republic also booked a semifinal spot, per WTA Tennis coverage of Tuesday's play.
The mixed doubles event, staged in the two days before the singles tournament, has drawn heightened attention this year for its marquee pairings, with a Serena Williams-linked entry also featuring in Tuesday's schedule according to US media reports.
The semifinals and final are scheduled to be completed before first-round singles action takes centre stage at the year's final Grand Slam.
