Carlos Alcaraz is back at the US Open after his injury trouble. He is the defending champion, and his return is the big story. Aryna Sabalenka begins her own title defense 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 features many celebrities and tickets are very scarce. People say the event really needs Alcaraz this year.
