<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/carlos-alcaraz\">Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> looks to be returning to action at the Cincinnati Open in mid-August.<\/p>\n<p>Alcaraz has been out of action since April, when he suffered a wrist injury at the Barcelona Open., and he\u2019s subsequently had to miss Roland Garros and Wimbledon.<\/p>\n<p>There were fears that Alcaraz could miss the US Open, but a new update suggests he could be back in time for the Cincinnati Open, the Masters event he won last season.<\/p>\n<p>The World No 3 had a complaint during his run to the title last year and it appears to have been listened to by the American hardcourt tournament.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking during his Cincinnati Open press conference last year, Alcaraz had a complaint about the final being played on a Monday, rather than the traditional Sunday.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Spaniard said: \u201cIt is going to be weird playing a final on a Monday. I am going to feel like what is going on? I don\u2019t know. It\u2019s a different feeling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love playing the final on Sunday. But it\u2019s everything that you have to see in another perspective, because as I say, I am going to have dinner late, I am going to have treatment late, and go to bed late.<\/p>\n<h2>More Carlos Alcaraz news<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/carlos-alcaraz-praised-for-making-beyond-smart-decision-during-his-absence-from-tennis\">Carlos Alcaraz praised for making \u2018beyond smart\u2019 decision during absence from tennis<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/carlos-alcaraz-injury-hell-tennis-alex-corretja\">\u2018Not having Carlos Alcaraz on the court is hell \u2013 we\u2019ve lost some of our magic\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cSo having that day is going to be much better to be ready for Monday. But at the same time, we are used to seeing a final on Sunday, and it\u2019s going to be weird.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s event has confirmed its schedule and the Cincinnati Open final will now take place on Sunday, August 23rd.<\/p>\n<p>That means the Masters event will be an 11-day event this year rather than the now traditional 12 days for ATP 1000 events, which started during the 2025 season.<\/p>\n<p>This could have major consequences for a potential appearance for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/carlos-alcaraz\">Alcaraz<\/a> at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/us-open\">US Open<\/a> Mixed Doubles Challenge too, as the format is set to begin on August 25th.<\/p>\n<p>Alcaraz will now get a days rest in between the tournaments, whereas last year he flew directly from Cincinnati to New York to play alongside <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/emma-raducanu\">Emma Raducanu<\/a> without a day off.<\/p>\n<p>There have been whispers of Alcaraz playing the doubles event alongside <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/serena-williams\">Serena Williams<\/a>, so there is now a bigger chance that all-star team can now happen at the doubles event.<\/p>\n<p>No teams for the US Open Mixed Doubles tournament have been confirmed as yet, although last year\u2019s teams included <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/jessica-pegula\">Jessica Pegula<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/jack-draper\">Jack Draper<\/a>, as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/iga-swiatek\">Iga Swiatek<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/casper-ruud\">Casper Ruud<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The event was eventually won by Andrea Vavassori and Sara Errani.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carlos Alcaraz had complaint about the Cincinnati Open in 2025 and they appear to have listened Liam McMillen 15 Jul 2026 1:00 PM A frustrated Carlos Alcaraz After a five-month absence, Carlos Alcaraz looks to be returning to action at the Cincinnati Open in mid-August.
