NEW YORK -- Carlos Alcaraz is ready to return from injury to defend his US Open title.
"Here we go," Alcaraz posted on his social media pages Thursday, with one picture showing him in front of the US Open logo.
The seven-time Grand Slam champion has been sidelined since April because of a right wrist injury, forcing him to miss both the French Open and Wimbledon.
Alcaraz won his second US Open title last year, beating Jannik Sinner in the final. He then won the Australian Open to start this season. The Spaniard is still ranked No. 2 despite his absence.
