Carlos Alcaraz is back at the US Open after a recent injury. He is the defending champion, and that makes his comeback the main headline. Aryna Sabalenka also starts her title defence as well. Jessica Pegula said she felt surprised he returned so soon.
The ATP says Alcaraz has a chance at a record but no details were given. The tournament has plenty of star guests and tickets are very scarce. People say the event depends heavily on Alcaraz this year.
