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 also starts her title defence as well. Jessica Pegula said she was a bit surprised Alcaraz came back.
The ATP says Alcaraz has a chance at a record but no details were given. The tournament draws a lot of famous faces and tickets are hard to get. People say the event depends heavily on Alcaraz this year.
