Notably absent from the preliminary list are ATP No. 1 Jannik Sinner of Italy and No. 3 Carlos Alcaraz of Spain. Defending champions Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori of Italy will try to retain their title. Meanwhile, the Wimbledon champions, Latvia's Alona Ostapenko and Marcelo Arevalo of El Salvador, are not included in the provisional field.
Registration for mixed doubles closes on August 17, and the tournament itself will be a two-day event with 16 pairs competing on August 25-26, five days before the singles competition begins.
