Alcaraz confirms US Open comeback after four months out

Carlos Alcaraz has confirmed he will return at the US Open after recovering from a right wrist injury. The Spaniard has been sidelined since mid-April and is now set for his first match since Barcelona.

Carlos Alcaraz said he will play the US Open, ending a four-month spell away from competition because of a right wrist injury. The injury forced him to retire from Barcelona in April and kept him off the ATP Tour through the summer. His return is significant for the field because he is the defending champion and one of the main title favorites. The comeback also shapes the late-season hard-court race heading into New York and the Asian swing.
