Carlos Alcaraz confirms he will return to competition for the U.S. Open after missing the previous four months due to a wrist injury. Multiple outlets report the injury keeps him away from the ATP Tour since April, and that his return follows a period of rehabilitation and careful ramp-up.
The sources place his absence in context: he misses the French Open and Wimbledon, along with additional hard-court events. The BBC and other reports describe the wrist issue as the key factor, while Al Jazeera adds that he also skips events including Toronto and Cincinnati. One outlet notes his ATP ranking position and frames the announcement date and length of the layoff; another highlights his status as defending champion and mentions the U.S. Open’s main draw start.
While the details vary—such as the emphasis on how he is managing fitness, the exact announcement timing, and whether the report references the U.S. Open’s prize fund—the overall picture is consistent: Alcaraz returns to the U.S. Open after a sustained injury absence.
