Carlos Alcaraz's US Open Comeback: Physical Recovery and Fourth-Round Outlook vs. Tommy Paul

In the moment when the Arthur Ashe court was empty due to technical reasons, Carlos Alcaraz stood in the middle of the court, taking his first shots after four months of rest. This image was not only the return of a young talent, but also a vivid testimony to the resilience of a tennis legend. As a tennis reporter following the sport from the US, I realized that every slow shot on the US Open hard court was not only tactical, but also a story about sacrifice and patience.
