Alcaraz unleashes madness upon his return to the US Open
How much the world of tennis missed Carlos Alcaraz. Four and a half months after his wrist injury at the Conde de Godó in Barcelona, the Spanish player and title defender returned to a tournament officially. Yesterday he arrived in New York City, and at 11:00 AM (local time), 5:00 PM in Spain, today, the player from El Palmar took to the Louis Armstrong court for his first practice at the US Open.
It was two hours of training alongside his coach Samu López and his brother, and second coach, Álvaro. And throughout the practice, fans did not stop taking photos and chanting his name. But madness broke out when the seven-time Grand Slam champion finished his session.
Carlos Alcaraz has already ignited passions on his first day at the US Open
It was then that Alcaraz, as usual, approached the fans and took photos with many of those present. This reinforces the image of the Spaniard as the main attraction in world tennis.
Without having debuted yet, the player from Murcia has already ignited passions in New York. However, the excitement will grow when next week he takes to the Arthur Ashe court alongside Serena Williams in the US Open mixed doubles. A tournament in which Aryna Sabalenka and Novak Djokovic will also form a duo.

Throughout this week, Alcaraz will continue training at the US Open facilities and will do so with different players to assess the state of his tennis and physical condition. His main priority for the final Grand Slam of the season is to achieve the best possible sensations and ensure that his body does not suffer from the lack of competition. But with Carlos Alcaraz anything can happen.
