Carlos Alcaraz makes his US Open debut after four months out with injury and a first encounter with Serena Williams

Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaraz is returning to professional competition at the US Open following a 139-day absence. His hiatus was caused by a wrist injury sustained during the Trofeo Conde de Godó, which forced him to miss Roland Garros, Wimbledon, and the Masters 1000 tournaments in Canada and Cincinnati.

Ahead of his return, Alcaraz participated in a practice session at the US Open alongside Serena Williams. The athlete has also publicly discussed his nutritional regimen, noting that he consumes a specific meal one and a half hours before matches to ensure peak performance.
