Carlos Alcaraz is back at the US Open after a recent injury. He is the defending champion, and his return is the big story. Aryna Sabalenka opens her campaign as champion as well. Jessica Pegula said she felt surprised he returned so soon.
The ATP says Alcaraz could be the first to do something historic but no details were given. The tournament features many celebrities and tickets are very scarce. People say the event depends heavily on Alcaraz this year.
