Tennis sensation Carlos Alcaraz, who recently won at Wimbledon, is preparing for the North American hardcourt swing. His first destination seems to be the Canadian Open on August 7
With the old guard of Tennis saying their goodbyes one by one, new blood like Carlos has already shown signs of a new era inside the court. The 20-year-old Spaniard has concisely stated his next goal in just three potent words as he sets his sights on new challenges.
Carlos Alcaraz begins US Open prep
Carlos Alcaraz is preparing for the next North American hardcourt swing following his spectacular Wimbledon victory. He looks keen to carry on his historic run in the 2023 campaign as the top seed at the National Bank Open. The Spanish athlete, 20, just posted a picture of his workout routine on social media with the caption, “Back on Track!” preparing to travel to Canada.
Alcaraz created history by winning his first Major championship in the US Open, defeating Casper Ruud in a thrilling final, and rising to the position of No. 1 in the world. His 2022 campaign in Montreal, however, did not go as expected because he suffered a difficult defeat to Tommy Paul in the second round. The young celebrity at the time thought the strain was too much.
Carlos Alcaraz looks concentrated on making a good comeback in Canada this year with his sights set on more success. His victory at Wimbledon seems to have given him renewed confidence, and as he faces the difficulties of the North American hardcourt season, he hopes to build on his accomplishments.
When will US Open start? Date, schedule, top names
From August 28 to September 10, the US Open, the year’s final Major, will be held at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York. In the categories of men’s and women’s singles, the defending champions are Carlos Alcaraz of Spain and Iga Swiatek of Poland.
Due to COVID-19 limitations, Novak Djokovic was unable to compete in last year’s tournament in Flushing Meadows. The 24-time Grand Slam champion Margaret Court could be the target for the Serbian sensation. Alcaraz, who just defeated Djokovic in a thrilling Wimbledon final to win his second Grand Slam title, will be looking to build on his strong 2023 campaign.
Rafael Nadal, who is still suffering from a hip injury, and Emma Raducanu, who had surgeries on her hands and ankles, are not included among the participants, though. In spite of these omissions, the event is expected to be quite competitive, with top-ranked players competing for the title from all over the world.
As the top tennis players from around the world assemble to compete at the prestigious US Open, spectators can expect to witness intense matches and incredible performances. Many eager eyes will be on the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center as the anticipation for one of the most awaited tennis championships grows and athletes compete for the prized trophies.
