Carlos Alcaraz receives wonderful news, confirms his return date.

The recovery process for Alcaraz after his wrist injury has been advancing well.

After months of being sidelined due to injury, Carlos Alcaraz is likely to return to the court soon, providing a major boost to the final stretch of the 2026 tennis season.

According to the newspaper La Verdad (Spain), Alcaraz's right wrist injury has "fully recovered". The 23-year-old player is targeting a comeback at the Cincinnati Open (August 13-23), the last Masters 1000 event before the US Open.

Alcaraz has not competed since April after getting injured at the Barcelona Open. The wrist problem forced him to withdraw from Roland Garros and Wimbledon, the two most important Grand Slams of the summer. The long absence also caused the Spanish player to drop to No. 3 in the ATP rankings.

During Carlitos' time off, the men's tennis landscape has changed significantly. Alexander Zverev took advantage of the opportunity to win his first Grand Slam at Roland Garros, while Jannik Sinner successfully defended his Wimbledon title after defeating Sascha in the final.

After the Wimbledon final, legend John McEnroe expressed his wish to see Alcaraz back soon. His brother, Patrick McEnroe, also believes that men's tennis needs the Spanish player's presence to make the rivalry with Sinner more exciting.

According to Patrick, Sinner is currently the most complete player in the world and would be the top contender for the US Open title if Alcaraz is not at his best. However, Carlitos' return could completely alter the dynamics of the race.

Alcaraz currently has 7 Grand Slam titles, including the Australian Open victory earlier this year, which completed his career Grand Slam set at just 23 years old. He is also the defending US Open champion.

In addition to aiming to defend his singles title, Alcaraz is also rumored to partner with legend Serena Williams in mixed doubles at the US Open, promising to generate special excitement for the tournament.
