They will take on Kazakhstan’s Anna Danilina and Finnish tennis player Harri Heliovaara.
Heliovaara frequently plays men’s doubles with Lloyd Glasspool.
Krajicek also plays men’s doubles often with partner Ivan Dodig.
With Dodig, 33-year-old Krajicek earned the first Grand Slam win of his career at the 2023 French Open.
Pegula is the top-ranked woman in American tennis, and she plays doubles with Coco Gauff who will be the new No. 1 doubles team on Monday when the current rankings are released.

As a result, she has plenty of doubles experience leading into the final.
2. Women’s Singles Final, 4:00 PM EDT
Coco Gauff will take on Aryna Sabalenka in the women’s singles final at 4:00 PM.
This will be a hard-hitting event as both players have tremendous power.
Sabalenka is the 2023 Australian Open Champion, and Gauff is the 2022 French Open finalist so both have been in a high-profile Grand Slam final before.
She defeated American Madison Keys after dropping the first set 0-6 in the semifinals.
Gauff is the hottest player on the WTA tour winning two titles within the past month in Washington, DC and Cincinnati.
Coco Gauff things:
– the first American teenager to reach back-to-back US Open quarterfinals since Serena Williams (1999-2001)
– has now won 15 of her last 16 matches
– has won the most WTA titles as a teenager since Caroline Wozniacki
