Start --><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/carlos-alcaraz\">Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> has finally confirmed that he will be returning to action at the US Open, following a five-month absence from the ATP Tour.<\/p>\n<p>The Spaniard\u2019s wrist injury has derailed most of his season, with the star missing several Masters events, as well as Roland Garros and Wimbledon.<\/p>\n<p>However, Alcaraz can now hopefully put his injury woes behind him and return back to his best for the final Grand Slam of the year at Flushing Meadows.<\/p>\n<p>Alcaraz has already built up a pretty hectic schedule for his return, with several tournaments already ear-marked by the world No 3.<\/p>\n<p>The Spaniard will play the Laver Cup 12 days after the US Open final, as he looks to try and help Team Europe win their title back from Team World.<\/p>\n<h2>More Carlos Alcaraz news<\/h2>\n<p><a
