Carlos Alcaraz's official confirmation on August 20 that he will defend his U.S. Open title after a four-month absence from a right wrist injury has driven the near-certain trader consensus reflected in the 97.6% implied probability for a "Yes" outcome. The world No. 2 has been cleared for the hard-court Grand Slam starting August 30, posting practice footage and receiving a mixed doubles wild card alongside Serena Williams, while remaining on the official entry list. His return targets the final major of the season after skipping the French Open, Wimbledon, and recent ATP events in Toronto and Cincinnati to prioritize full fitness. Realistic scenarios that could still shift the outcome include a late injury setback during final preparations or a medical withdrawal before his first match, though his recent activity and public statements indicate strong readiness for the main draw.

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.
