Carlos Alcaraz is set to return from a wrist injury and defend his US Open title
New York (AP) — Carlos Alcaraz, the top-ranked tennis player, is set to return from a wrist injury and defend his US Open title. The seven-time Grand Slam champion has been sidelined since April due to a right wrist injury, causing him to miss both the French Open and Wimbledon. Alcaraz secured his second US Open title last year, defeating Jannik Sinner in the final, after winning the Australian Open and his subsequent tournament.
However, after winning his first match in the Barcelona Open, he withdrew from the tournament due to the injury. Despite his absence, Alcaraz remains ranked No. 2. Photos and videos on social media indicated he was preparing to return just before withdrawing from the Cincinnati Open. This match is currently ongoing, and commentators speculated if Alcaraz would attempt to play a Grand Slam tournament without adequate preparation.
The absence of both top-ranked players, Alcaraz and Sinner, will likely create more excitement for the final Grand Slam tournament of the year in New York.
