Carlos Alcaraz's direct confirmation on August 20 that he will compete at the 2026 US Open drives the near-certain trader consensus. The defending champion, sidelined since April by a right wrist injury that caused him to miss the French Open and Wimbledon, posted an explicit return announcement alongside reports confirming his spot on the entry list for the hard-court Grand Slam beginning August 30. Earlier uncertainty from his Cincinnati withdrawal has been resolved by this official update, with Alcaraz also receiving a mixed doubles wild card. Realistic factors that could still alter participation include a late injury recurrence during final preparation or an unforeseen medical issue, though his public commitment as the two-time US Open winner substantially reduces such risks.

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.
