# Tennis: Carlos Alcaraz says he feels great about his wrist ahead of his US Open title defence, although the Spaniard admits he is anxious about returning to singles after a four-month layoff. The 23-year-old has been sidelined since April with a right wrist injury, missing the French Open and Wimbledon. Alcaraz says intensive practice sessions have reassured him that the wrist is ready for competition. He admits the bigger challenge could be mental, saying he needs to trust his support team and put aside any fear. The defending champion begins against Roman Safiullin on Sunday.
