Carlos Alcaraz wants to continue gaining form and rhythm after so many months of inactivity due to his wrist injury that made him miss almost the entire clay court season (Mutua Madrid Open, Masters 1000 in Rome, and Roland Garros), the entirety of the grass court season (Queen's and Wimbledon), and part of the North American hard court swing (Masters 1000 in Canada and Cincinnati).
In Tokyo, he will be the number one seed and the main contender for the title. However, he will face fierce competition during his week in the Japanese capital. The other seeded players are: Frances Tiafoe, Taylor Fritz, Rafael Jódar, Brando Nakashima, and Casper Ruud. In fact, his potential semifinal opponent would be Fritz, and he would have to wait for a hypothetical final to play his first match against Jódar.
Regarding his first-round opponent, Alex Michelsen, he arrives after achieving his best result in a Grand Slam by reaching the quarterfinals of the US Open, where he was very close to securing a spot in the semifinals, although he was defeated by Tiafoe in five sets. Furthermore, this will be the first time that the Spaniard and the American face each other.
