Alcaraz Back, Sabalenka Aims for History | Mobile News

Carlos Alcaraz is back and firing at the U.S. Open, crushing Roman Safiullin in straight sets with no hint of wrist issues — and even rallying the crowd for more noise after a sweet volley. The No. 2 seed looks sharper than ever, with top rivals like Djokovic and Sinner sidelined, making him the clear favorite to claim his first Grand Slam title if he stays healthy. Meanwhile, Aryna Sabalenka kicked off her campaign with a win over Camila Osorio, eyes set on becoming the first player since Serena to win three straight U.S. Opens — and she’s got Arthur Ashe Stadium on her side. A minor wardrobe mix-up aside, Sabalenka’s chasing momentum to hold onto her No. 1 ranking as Rybakina closes in. With Djokovic and Fils already out, and Swiatek and Osaka advancing, this U.S. Open is primed for surprises — and maybe even a new champion.
