Carlos Alcaraz defends his US Open title in a first-round matchup against Roman Safiullin on hard courts, marking the Spaniard's return to singles competition after more than four months sidelined by a right wrist injury. Alcaraz, the No. 2 seed, has not played a competitive singles match since April and appeared tentative during recent mixed doubles action, raising questions about his serve, baseline durability, and ability to handle a best-of-five format. Safiullin, ranked No. 98, enters in solid form after reaching the Wimbledon fourth round with notable upsets and holds a 1-1 head-to-head record, including a 2023 victory over Alcaraz. The Russian's powerful serve and aggressive groundstrokes could extend rallies and test the defending champion's physical readiness early in the draw. Trader consensus reflects Alcaraz's superior ranking and experience but accounts for the significant layoff and bracket challenges ahead.
