Carlos Alcaraz, currently ranked third in ATP, has returned to the US Open after recovering from a four-and-a-half-month injury to his right arm. During a press conference ahead of the tournament, he expressed uncertainty about whether he would be ready for the event and admitted the recovery process was difficult, particularly during the first month when he could not use his dominant arm. Despite these challenges, Alcaraz believes the injury helped him realize that his mental state now plays a crucial role in his performance. He also commented on the absence of his rival Jannik Sinner, who suffered a similar injury, calling the situation 'a bit strange' but wishing Sinner a swift recovery.
