Carlos Alcaraz is back at the US Open after a recent injury. He is the defending champion, and his return is the big story. Aryna Sabalenka also starts her title defence as well. Jessica Pegula said she was a bit surprised Alcaraz came back.
The ATP says Alcaraz could be the first to do something historic but no details were given. The tournament has plenty of star guests and tickets are hard to get. People say the event really needs Alcaraz this year.
