Carlos Alcaraz is back at the US Open after his injury trouble. He is the defending champion, and that makes his comeback the main headline. Aryna Sabalenka opens her campaign as champion as well. Jessica Pegula said she did not expect Alcaraz to play.
The ATP says Alcaraz might achieve a historic first but no details were given. The tournament draws a lot of famous faces and tickets are hard to get. People say the event relies on his star power this year.
