Carlos Alcaraz is set to return from a wrist injury and defend his US Open title

NEW YORK (AP) — Carlos Alcaraz is ready to return from injury to defend his U.S. Open title.

“Here we go,” Alcaraz posted on his social media pages Thursday, with one picture showing him in front of the U.S. Open logo.

The seven-time Grand Slam champion has been sidelined since April because of a right wrist injury, forcing him to miss both the French Open and Wimbledon.

Alcaraz won his second U.S. Open title last year, beating Jannik Sinner in the final. He then won the Australian Open and his next tournament, part of his 22-3 start to this season. Read More

The S&P 500 fell 0.7% and is on track for a fourth loss in the five days since setting its all-time high last week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 612 points, or 1.2%, as of 2:328 p.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 1.1% lower.

NEW YORK (AP) — The pilot of a speedboat that capsized during a tour around the Statue of Liberty, drowning an infant and her mother, has been arrested by U.S. immigration authorities who say he was in the country illegally.
