Alcaraz Return Confirmed as ATP Finals Stay in Turin

The biggest news on the ATP calendar isn't happening on court just yet—Carlos Alcaraz has officially entered the Cincinnati Open, confirming his return to competition after a three-month injury absence. The seven-time Grand Slam champion last played on April 14 at the Barcelona Open before a persistent injury sidelined him through the entire grass season, dropping him from World No. 1 to No. 3 as Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev surged past him. His Cincinnati entry signals the start of a crucial North American hard-court swing ahead of the US Open, where he'll attempt to defend his title. Meanwhile, the tour announced that Turin will continue hosting the season-ending ATP Finals through 2027, extending the Italian city's successful run as the venue for the tour's marquee year-end event.

On court, the clay swing delivered more drama in Sweden, where Andrey Rublev battled through a three-set thriller in Bastad to keep his campaign alive. Arthur Fery provided the week's feel-good story, climbing to a career-high No. 36 in the rankings after his remarkable Wimbledon semifinal run—becoming the lowest-ranked player to reach the last four at the All England Club since Goran Ivanisevic in 2001. The Brit's breakout Grand Slam performance has vaulted him into the top 40 and positioned him as one of the tour's rising forces heading into the summer hard-court season.
