The 2021 US Open champ Raducanu and five-time Grand Slam king Alcaraz, both 22, are one of six wildcard teams.
Two more will soon be revealed to take the overall number of teams to 16.
Eight of the 16 pairs have received direct entry into the draw, including Emma Navarro and Jannik Sinner, along with Iga Swiatek and Casper Ruud.
Sinner will be looking to at least reach the final after beating Alcaraz in the final of Wimbledon.
The Italian, however, has recently been slammed for rehiring fitness coach Umberto Ferrara, who played a key role in his failed drug tests.
Britain’s Jack Draper is in the main draw, paired with Paula Badosa.
An updated entry list was unveiled on July 22, with Tsitsipas and Badosa one of two pairs to quietly pull out.

Badosa ditched Tsitsipas were known as “Tsitsidosa” but reportedly broke up during Wimbledon.
They had previously been referred to as a “power couple” on the court as they started dating in 2023.
But rumours of the split started to swirl after they both suffered round one exits at SW19.
Draper, meanwhile, suffered an early exit at the tournament as he was knocked out in the second round.
He navigated his way past Sebastian Baez in the first round but lost 4-6 3-6 6-1 4-6 to Marin Cilic.
Elsewhere, US duo Jessica Pegula and Tommy Paul will team up.
Other notable wildcards include Novak Djokovic and Olga Danilovic.
