Carlos Alcaraz’s official confirmation on August 20 that he will compete at the 2026 U.S. Open, following intensive training sessions with players such as Holger Rune, underpins the 96.9% implied probability for a “Yes” outcome. The defending champion, sidelined since April by a right wrist injury that caused him to miss the French Open, Wimbledon, and lead-up hard-court events, has cleared final fitness tests and signaled readiness ahead of the August 30 main draw. Trader consensus reflects the timing of his public announcement and positive on-court preparation reports. Residual uncertainty stems from the extended layoff and the physical demands of best-of-five-set matches upon return, where any setback in the final pre-tournament window could prompt a late withdrawal.

Carlos Alcaraz is considered to have "played" if he takes the court and play begins in any of his main-draw singles matches. Being entered in the draw, or an opponent's retirement or walkover before any play begins, does not by itself count as having played. If Alcaraz begins a match and then retires or is defaulted, this market will resolve "Yes."
If the tournament is postponed beyond September 27, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or canceled before Alcaraz plays a main-draw singles match, this market will resolve "No."
The resolution source for this market will be official information from the US Open (usopen.org); however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
