Alcaraz Returns Focused on Mind Over Matter | Spokane News

Carlos Alcaraz is back on the singles court at the U.S. Open after a four-month wrist injury layoff, revealing that the toughest part was battling intrusive thoughts about his recovery—not the physical pain.

Alcaraz credits intense mental and physical prep, including training with Holger Rune, for his comeback, and stresses the importance of trusting his team.
