Alcaraz to play US Open after four months out
Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz is set to make his return at the US Open after missing four months with a wrist injury.
Carlos Alcaraz, the defending champion, will return to the US Open after a four-month absence due to a wrist injury. The 23-year-old Spaniard, who recently won the Australian Open, is the youngest player to claim titles at all four Grand Slams. Alcaraz announced his return on Instagram, alongside the words "Here we go!" and the American flag emoji.
Seven-time major champion Alcaraz could compete in both singles and mixed doubles, with three wildcards still to be awarded. Rival Jannik Sinner has claimed the world number two spot, having won Wimbledon and the French Open this year, while Alexander Zverev was runner-up at SW19. The US Open singles tournament will commence on Sunday, 30 August in New York.
