Alcaraz to compete in the US Open

World number three Carlos Alcaraz is set to make his return to professional tennis at the US Open, which begins on August 30. The Spanish star has been sidelined for four months due to a right wrist injury he sustained in April at the Conde de Godó tournament. Alcaraz, a two-time US Open champion in 2022 and 2025, announced his comeback via social media, expressing his eagerness to compete. This marks the longest period of inactivity in his professional career. The Grand Slam event in New York is where Alcaraz achieved his first major title in 2022, propelling him to the world number one ranking for the first time. His injury forced him to miss key tournaments, including Wimbledon and Roland Garros, where he was a defending champion. Despite speculation about an earlier return to hard court tournaments in the United States, he opted to focus on his recovery and preparation, skipping events in Canada and Cincinnati. Alcaraz has been undergoing intensive training in Murcia with fellow player Holger Rune, who is also recovering from an injury. The Spanish player's participation in the US Open will serve as a crucial test of his competitive level and the condition of his wrist under the demands of five-set matches. His ranking has slipped to third place due to his absence from the circuit.
