Carlos Alcaraz Is Back! Seven-Time Grand Slam Champion Set For US Open Title Defence After Four-Month Injury Layoff | Video

New York - Carlos Alcaraz is set to defend his U.S. Open title after a four-month injury layoff, according to social media posts. The seven-time Grand Slam champion had been sidelined since April due to a right wrist injury, causing him to miss the French Open and Wimbledon. In his comeback, Alcaraz recently won a practice match against Rune 7-6, 6-2.

He also secured a victory at the Barcelona Open before withdrawing due to his injury. Despite his absence, Alcaraz remains ranked No. 2. His top-ranked opponent, Sinner, has also been out of action due to a right knee injury, prompting speculation about Alcaraz's potential return to a Grand Slam tournament without proper preparation.
