Alcaraz is back in training: this is his upcoming schedule
Carlos Alcaraz fine-tunes the machinery again after several days of rest. After losing in the quarterfinals of the US Open 2026 to the eventual finalist Ben Shelton, the Murcian digested the defeat without any issues and took several days to recover, which have now concluded. It is MARCA that reports Carlitos returned to physical training last Sunday; this very Monday, however, he is back training on the courts at his club in Murcia.
There has been no long-term break or issues related to the defeat: the wrist is in perfect condition and tune, and now Alcaraz will enjoy a week of intense training, still with some time before his return to the courts, which will take place at the upcoming Laver Cup. It's more than 10 days of conditioning for a competition that will begin on September 25 and is conveniently close (in London).

This is Carlos Alcaraz's upcoming schedule
From London, the Murcian will directly focus on the upcoming Asian tour: he will fly directly to the ATP Tokyo 2026, where he is expected to debut on Thursday, October 1, marking his return to a regular ATP tournament. The Murcian's goals are clear: to defend the title in the Japanese capital and prepare to challenge at the Masters 1000 in Shanghai, where he has yet to make his debut.
This year, of course, the Murcian will face this tour with a different freshness: much less competitive stress and far less physical burden on his legs, more than enough reasons to trust him. It could also be an opportunity to see him face to face again against Jannik Sinner, although this wouldn't happen until the Chinese Masters 1000 (the Italian will compete in Beijing, not Tokyo). Finally, Alcaraz will compete in the trilogy in the eastern latitudes with the Six Kings Slam in Saudi Arabia, right the week after the Masters 1000 in Shanghai.
