related_qa: question: Who did Alcaraz play in the first round at the US Open?, answer: Wu Yibing.; question: What was Tommy Paul's result against Alexander Bublik?, answer: Paul won in five sets.; question: What is Alcaraz's current form at the US Open?, answer: Rising form despite wrist injury recovery, with 30 of 31 major matches won since the 2024 French Open.
I sat in front of my old computer screen, fingers scrolling through the US Open schedule, and the first moment I saw Carlos Alcaraz step onto the court, his hand still marked with faint scars from the wrist surgery four months ago. It was a moment that reminded me of the late nights I spent following Vietnamese track and field athletes, when young players also had to overcome injuries to maintain their rhythm. Alcaraz defeated Wu Yibing unexpectedly in the first set, but then revealed his weakness: 33 unforced errors, including 19 forehand errors. I wondered if this fatigue was due to the injury recovery or not, as he still maintained his aggressive baseline style. Meanwhile, Tommy Paul was facing Alexander Bublik, and the American player won convincingly over five sets, including a 6-7(4) tiebreak loss. Paul showed good chasing ability, even though his all-court baseline style didn't bring much innovation compared to top-20 opponents. I recalled my own matches when I competed in the Hai Phong track team, where speed was the key factor, and Paul was similar – he chased the opponent to wait for the opportunity to break through in the final set.
