Carlos Alcaraz continues to make progress in his wrist injury recovery and has already returned to training on the court. The evolution is positive, but the Murcian follows a cautious roadmap and has not yet secured his return to competition.
According to La Verdad de Murcia, the plan is for Alcaraz to travel to the Cincinnati Masters 1000 with the intention of competing, although his presence is not guaranteed, and if he participates in the tournament, he may do so without being fully at his physical best.
A return without assuming risks
The Spaniard has already started hitting the ball, although with reduced workload and without playing full training sets. Both the player and his team aim to gradually increase the session intensity, respecting the planned timelines and avoiding any steps that could compromise the rest of the season.

In this context, Cincinnati appears as the ideal setting for his comeback, provided that the wrist continues to show favorable progress. The American Masters 1000 would allow Alcaraz to return to competition before the US Open, regain match rhythm, loosen up after several weeks of inactivity, and assess how the joint responds under the demands of an official match.
Nevertheless, the Murcian’s presence will depend solely on the sensations his wrist conveys in the upcoming weeks. If any discomfort persists, the priority will remain arriving in the best possible condition for the final Grand Slam of the season, even if that means forgoing competing in Cincinnati.
