Carlos Alcaraz, the seven-time Grand Slam champion, has announced his return to tennis at the 2026 U.S. Open after a four-month absence due to tenosynovitis in his wrist. The 23-year-old Spaniard made the announcement in a social media post with soccer transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, using the Italian's catchphrase 'Here we go.' Alcaraz, the defending champion in New York, has been sidelined since April and missed the French Open and Wimbledon. He is yet to formally confirm his singles participation, but the main draw begins August 30. Alcaraz could potentially pair with Serena Williams in the mixed doubles event. His return is seen as a major boost for men's tennis, which has relied on his rivalry with world No. 1 Jannik Sinner, who is also dealing with a knee injury.
