Alcaraz Dominates 2026 US Open Third Round with Victory Over Wu Yibing - Lessons on Post-Injury Form

Dear readers, The moment Carlos Alcaraz screamed after breaking for 3-1 in the third set, the roar echoing on Arthur Ashe Stadium that night, was not just cheering for a 23-year-old player defending the title, but a whisper about an unexpected form after nearly five months off. In the 2026 US Open third round, Alcaraz defeated Wu Yibing 6-3, 6-4, 6-1. This was not a big fight, but a series proving he still controlled the game. People call it unexpected form; I call it the first lesson on home court about injury and return. The match context was Alcaraz returning from wrist injury, 17-match Grand Slam streak, aiming for three consecutive US Open titles. He completed career Grand Slam at 23. Wu Yibing, ranked 113, surprised with flat aggressive style causing erratic bounce on medium-fast hard courts. But Alcaraz controlled rhythm. He won break in set one, maintained dominance. In set two, he screamed in frustration before doubling lead, set three ended with huge roar after break 3-1. Technical analysis showed Alcaraz as aggressive baseliner with all-court versatility. Heavy topspin forehand high bounce, explosive first-strike, fast transition, refined net play. Wu's forehand backhand made ball skip, but Alcaraz adjusted fast.
