Carlos Alcaraz Sets Sights on Defending US Open Title After Injury Layoff

NEW YORK — Carlos Alcaraz is poised to make his return from injury as he prepares to defend his US Open title. The 20-year-old Spaniard shared an enthusiastic message on his social media accounts on Thursday, stating, “Here we go,” accompanied by a photograph of himself in front of the US Open logo.

The seven-time Grand Slam champion has been sidelined since April due to a right wrist injury, which forced him to miss significant tournaments including the French Open and Wimbledon. Despite his hiatus from competition, Alcaraz continues to hold the No. 2 ranking in men’s tennis.

Alcaraz achieved his second US Open title last year, defeating Jannik Sinner in a closely contested final. He further solidified his status in the sport by winning the Australian Open at the start of the current season, demonstrating his formidable talent on the court.
