Grand comeback of the champion! Carlos Alcaraz makes a long-awaited statement ahead of the Grand Slam tournament
The Spanish phenomenon Carlos Alcaraz is finally returning to the court, to the delight of millions of fans around the world.
Details: World No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz has officially announced on his social media that he will compete at the upcoming 2026 US Open. The 23-year-old Spaniard has completed an extensive rehabilitation program after injuring his right wrist and is ready to fight once again for the biggest trophy on the courts of Flushing Meadows.
The Spanish athlete was forced to miss over four months of competitive action. His wrist problems began back in mid-April during the Barcelona tournament, which kept Carlos out of Roland Garros and Wimbledon, and also forced him to withdraw from the recent Masters in Cincinnati. However, his latest training sessions have confirmed that the Spaniard is fully fit and ready to return to the tour.
It's worth noting that Carlos Alcaraz will enter the US Open as the defending champion. The 23-year-old already boasts 7 Grand Slam singles titles and 26 ATP tournament wins. Earlier this year, his triumph at the Australian Open made him the youngest player in history to complete a career Grand Slam.
