What great news we have received before closing shop this Wednesday. Carlos Alcaraz appears on the entry list of the Cincinnati Masters 1000, news that fuels optimism about his return to competition after several months out due to the injury in his right wrist.

The presence of the world number two on the entry list does not guarantee his final participation, but it does represent an important step forward in his recovery process. After missing the Masters 1000 events in Madrid and Rome, as well as Roland Garros, Wimbledon, and the Canada Masters, Cincinnati emerges as the most likely stage for his long-awaited comeback. The American tournament, which will take place from August 13 to 23, also holds a special significance for Alcaraz. The Spaniard will defend the title he won last season, so his presence would have a twofold value: regaining sensations on hard courts and safeguarding a significant amount of points in the ranking.

In recent days, Alcaraz himself has shared images of his training sessions showing him already hitting the ball with his right hand, an evident sign that the recovery is progressing favorably. However, both the player and his team remain cautious and do not want to rush his return before ensuring he has all medical assurances.

The absence of the Spaniard from the initial entry list of the Canada Masters 1000 raised doubts about his physical condition, although from the start, the player's entourage insisted that the goal was to arrive in the best possible shape for the decisive part of the North American tour.

Cincinnati, Alcaraz's main goal before the US Open

The registration in Cincinnati is a hopeful message for fans. Although the final decision will depend on the evolution of his wrist in the coming weeks, the schedule continues to point towards Ohio as the chosen event to end an absence that has lasted since April. According to the entry list published by the tournament, Alcaraz maintains his intention to compete in Cincinnati, always conditioned on receiving the final clearance and successfully completing the final phase of his recovery.

If everything progresses as planned, the American Masters 1000 will be the final major test before the US Open, where the Murcian aims to once again compete for the most important titles on the circuit and regain his competitive rhythm after one of the longest injuries of his professional career.
