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 opens her campaign as champion 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 features many celebrities and tickets are hard to get. People say the event relies on his star power this year.
