The Belarusian chose the Bulgarian.

Russian tennis player Karen Khachanov has admitted that he had nurtured plans to play at the U.S. Open in mixed doubles with Belarusian tennis player Arina Sobolenko. However, they turned out to be unfulfilled.

"If we talk about partners, I would like to play with Arina Sobolenko or Elena Rybakina. These options were there from the very beginning, but the girls were already taken," the No. 16 in the men's singles rankings told Championship.

Sobolenko, on the other hand, was taken by world No. 20 Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria. He had earlier agreed with Arina to play together at the US Open. Although it is not a sure thing that it will succeed for sure. For now, Dimitrov is recovering from an injury.
