Carlos Alcaraz is back at the US Open after his injury trouble. He is the defending champion, and that makes his comeback the main headline. Aryna Sabalenka begins her own title defense as well. Jessica Pegula said she felt surprised he returned so soon.
The ATP says Alcaraz might achieve a historic first but no details were given. The tournament features many celebrities and tickets are hard to get. People say the event really needs Alcaraz this year.
