Carlos Alcaraz, the reigning US Open champion, has candidly discussed the mental toll of his recent injury hiatus. The 20-year-old suffered a wrist injury in Barcelona four months ago, which led to him missing two Grand Slam events—one where he was the defending champion and another where he was a runner-up. Alcaraz admitted that while he focused on his physical recovery, the most challenging aspect was dealing with the mental uncertainties that came with his situation. He reflected on how the injury affected his mindset and preparation as he aimed to return to competitive tennis. As he gears up for the upcoming US Open, Alcaraz is eager to reclaim his title and prove his resilience after overcoming these hurdles.
