Carlos Alcaraz remains on the 2026 US Open entry list as defending champion despite a right-wrist injury that has sidelined him since the Barcelona Open in April. The world No. 2 withdrew from the Cincinnati Open on August 5 to prioritize recovery, extending a four-month layoff that already caused him to miss Roland Garros and Wimbledon. Traders see a narrow edge for participation because the 23-year-old is still training at low intensity and has not received full medical clearance for competitive matches. A positive update on intensity ramp-up or entry into the Winston-Salem Open could strengthen the “Yes” side, while any further setback or official withdrawal would quickly shift sentiment toward absence. The tight 54.5% implied probability reflects uncertainty over whether he can regain match fitness in time for the hard-court major.
