Carlos Alcaraz returns to the U.S. Open stage, seeking to etch his name further into tennis history by capturing a third consecutive title at the New York Grand Slam. The young Spanish star is making his comeback after overcoming a recent injury, adding an extra layer of challenge to his title defense.
Alcaraz's objective in this year's tournament is clear: to secure his third major trophy in New York.

His performance will be closely watched as he navigates the pressures of defending a major title while returning from physical setbacks. The tournament marks a significant point in his season, with the potential to significantly boost his standing in the sport.
