Carlos Alcaraz has entered next month’s Cincinnati Open as the world number three and works toward returning from a wrist injury. The 23‑year‑old last played in April after injuring his wrist at the Barcelona Open, and has since withdrawn from the French Open and Wimbledon, missing the chance to defend his Roland Garros title. He will skip the Canadian Open in Montreal but aims to prove his readiness for the US Open, the final Grand Slam of the year where he is the reigning champion.

Alcaraz is also the title holder at Cincinnati, after Jannik Sinner retired from their final last year because of illness. Sinner, who has won all five Masters 1,000 titles so far this year, is in applicability for Montreal following his second successive Wimbledon triumph.

English interest in Cincinnati will not include Emma Raducanu, who pulled out of Wimbledon due to a stress fracture in her lower leg. Raducanu, 23, is battling to be fit for the US Open, which begins on 30 August. Jack Draper will need a wildcard to compete, but a spot is available for new British number one Arthur Fery, who has risen to a career‑high ranking of 36 after his run to the Wimbledon semi‑finals.
