Tennis-Alcaraz Says Uncertainty over Comeback Fuelled ‘Intrusive Thoughts’
Carlos Alcaraz says wrist injury recovery brought uncertainty as he returns with limited match practice and opens against Roman Safiullin.
- Seven-Times Grand Slam champion Carlos Alcaraz returns to Flushing Meadows for his title defence at the Open after a wrist injury sidelined him for nearly five months.
- Alcaraz told reporters on Friday that "intrusive thoughts" about his recovery timeline were the toughest part of the injury, which forced him to miss the French Open and Wimbledon.
- He made a competitive return earlier this week in the Open mixed doubles alongside 23-times singles Grand Slam champion Serena Williams, before the main draw begins on Sunday.
- The tournament will miss world number one Jannik Sinner, who withdrew with a knee injury, while second seed Alcaraz opens against Russia's Roman Safiullin.
- Reflecting on his rivals' absences, Alcaraz said, "We are not going to see each other for about six months or seven months now. So it's kind of a weird situation.
