This market will resolve "Yes" if Carlos Alcaraz competes in at least one main-draw singles match at the 2026 US Open, scheduled for August 30, 2026 to September 13, 2026. Otherwise, this market will resolve "No." 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.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.
