Alcaraz will defend his US Open title without having played a match since April
Zero warm-up matches. Carlos Alcaraz confirmed on Thursday that he returns at the US Open, four months after a right wrist injury stopped him in Barcelona, and that he gets there without a single tournament in between. The announcement came as a joint Instagram post with the journalist Fabrizio Romano, carried on Alcaraz's own account and signed off with four words: "Ready to come back." He is the defending champion in New York, where the main draw starts on 30 August.
