Carlos Alcaraz says he feels at “100 percent” as he prepares to defend his US Open title. He also acknowledges that he feels anxious after a long break from competition.
Both outlets attribute the anxiety to a four-month layoff caused by a wrist injury. Alcaraz describes his wrist as feeling “great,” and he frames his current preparation as focused on returning fully and performing at his usual level. The reports do not provide additional specifics about the nature of the wrist problem or any new restrictions, but they agree on the timing and his overall assessment of his fitness going into the US Open defense.
