The time of truth has arrived. Carlos Alcaraz faces the challenge of returning to competition after four months off due to a wrist injury suffered in Barcelona. The wait has been long, but the tennis world is eager to witness the Murcian's game in a Grand Slam like the US Open 2026, where he presents himself as the reigning champion.
The context is not favorable for thinking that he will be at his best level from the start, due to the lack of competitive rhythm he will feel, but he needs a great version of himself to avoid problems against Roman Safiullin, a player whose style of play is uncomfortable for Carlos and who already knows what it is to defeat the Spaniard.
