Carlos Alcaraz is back at the US Open after a four-month wrist injury layoff, returning to the court where he won his first Grand Slam in 2022 and became the youngest world No. 1. The tournament itself is breaking records with a historic $100 million prize pool — a 20% jump — signaling a major investment in player economics. New US Open chief Craig Tiley is launching his tenure with these bold moves, including forming a Grand Slam Player Council to empower athletes and prevent future protests. The winner’s check alone hits $5.5 million. Meanwhile, Australia sees a slight reshuffle: one player withdraws, and Alexei Popyrin steps into the main draw, while teammate Dane Sweeny gets a wildcard debut at Flushing Meadows.
