Carlos Alcaraz wins his opening-round match at the U.S. Open, appearing sharp despite a long absence from singles competition. One outlet reports it is his first singles match in more than four months, and he overcomes early rust to secure the win.
Both sources frame the performance as an early signal of form heading into the tournament. Yardbarker emphasizes that the 2026 U.S. Open No. 2 seed looks like he has not missed any time, while India Today similarly describes him as shaking off rust and delivering a strong, decisive result. Neither source details a broader narrative beyond the immediate match, but together they highlight that his comeback comes quickly and with confidence.
