Carlos Alcaraz returns to singles competition for the first time since April after a right wrist injury sidelined him for four months, making his US Open title defense opener against Roman Safiullin a test of readiness on outdoor hard courts. The No. 2 seed has maintained his technique through intense practice but admits needing competitive matches after mixed doubles appearances showed some rust. Safiullin, ranked near 100, brings momentum from a deep Wimbledon run that included upsets of higher seeds and holds a 1-1 head-to-head record, with his prior win coming on indoor hard. The best-of-five format at Arthur Ashe favors Alcaraz’s experience in Grand Slams, though the Russian’s recent form on hard courts adds uncertainty to the outcome.
