Carlos Alcaraz returns to Cincinnati Open after wrist injury

Spanish world No. 3 Carlos Alcaraz is scheduled to make his comeback at the Cincinnati Open, where he will defend the title he won last year. The 23‑year‑old missed the French Open and Wimbledon while recovering from a wrist injury suffered at the Barcelona Open in April.

Alcaraz aims to use the tournament as a stepping stone toward defending his US Open crown later in the month, joining fellow top‑ranked player Jannik Sinner in the U.S. Masters 1000 field.
