Other high-profile pairings include Iga Swiatek and Casper Ruud, Elena Rybakina and Taylor Fritz, Naomi Osaka and Kei Nishikori, Jessica Pegula and Jack Draper, while reigning champions Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori will be defending their title.
The mixed doubles championship will again be held during the week before the singles main draw, from August 24th to 26th, after organisers overhauled the format last year to attract more top singles players by reducing the field and offering a standalone place on the calendar.
The entry window closes on August 17th, after which the top six pairs by combined singles ranking will qualify directly for the 16-pairmain draw. Eight pairs will receive wildcards, while the remaining two places will be decided through an eight-pair qualifying draw introduced this year.
The reimagined format proved a commercial success on its debut last year, drawing sellout crowds and attracting many of the sport's top singles players despite criticism from some doubles specialists who said it sidelined established doubles teams.
Errani and Vavassori went on to retain the title by defeating Swiatek and Ruud in the final.
