Alcaraz aims to step it up in round two of US Open title defence
Defending US Open champion Carlos Alcaraz will look to step up his game against Portugal's Jaime Faria.
Carlos Alcaraz, the reigning US Open champion, will aim to elevate his performance against Portugal's Jaime Faria in their upcoming match. Alcaraz recently defeated Roman Safiullin 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, dispelling concerns about his recovery from a wrist injury sustained in April. Despite playing pain-free, Alcaraz acknowledged that his serve needs refinement, stating he will strive to serve better.
Meanwhile, women's defending champion Aryna Sabalenka will face Poland's Polina Iatcenko in a first-round match. Sabalenka, who secured back-to-back titles at Indian Wells and Miami, will need to maintain her winning form to become the third woman to win three consecutive US Open titles.
