Carlos Alcaraz announces return at US Open following wrist injury

Carlos Alcaraz, currently ranked No. 2 in the world, will return to tennis at the 2026 US Open after a four-month absence due to a wrist injury. The defending champion has not competed since the Barcelona Open in April and missed the previous two Grand Slams. His fellow top competitor, Jannik Sinner, remains uncertain for the tournament, having withdrawn from recent events due to a knee injury. The US Open main draw begins on August 30, with the qualifying round starting on August 24. Ticket prices for the event have increased compared to last year.
