  • Tennis star Carlos Alcaraz announced his return to competition at the upcoming US Open.
  • The Spaniard has been sidelined for over four months due to a wrist injury.
  • Alcaraz aims to defend his title at the Grand Slam event, which begins on August 30.

Carlos Alcaraz is set to make his comeback to the tennis circuit at the US Open, where he will defend his title. The announcement comes after more than four months away from the courts due to a right wrist injury.

The former world number one confirmed his return on social media with a simple "Here we go," a nod to transfer market journalist Fabrizio Romano's signature phrase. Alcaraz's last match was on April 14 at the ATP 500 in Barcelona, where he felt pain in his wrist during his first-round victory. Subsequent examinations revealed a serious enough injury to force him to withdraw from subsequent tournaments.

His absence has been significant, causing him to miss key events including the Masters 1000 tournaments in Madrid and Cincinnati, as well as Grand Slams at Roland Garros and Wimbledon. The US Open, the season's final major, marks the end of this lengthy layoff for the 23-year-old Spanish champion, with his return eagerly anticipated.
