Carlos Alcaraz Confirms Return at 2026 US Open After Wrist Injury Layoff
Carlos Alcaraz, the seven-time Grand Slam champion and defending US Open titleholder, will return to competitive tennis at the 2026 US Open after a four-month hiatus due to a right wrist injury sustained at the Barcelona Open. He missed the French Open, Wimbledon, and several hard-court tournaments during recovery but retains the world No. 2 ranking. His rival, world No. 1 Jannik Sinner, is also recovering from a knee injury and withdrew from the Cincinnati Open, raising questions about both players' readiness for the Grand Slam.
