Alcaraz fights back in style as US Open delivers another day of drama<\/strong>
\nBy Swoosh | US Open 2026<\/p>\n

Carlos Alcaraz showed exactly why he is the defending champion on Day 4 of the US Open, producing a superb comeback against Portugal\u2019s Jaime Faria after a difficult opening set.<\/p>\n

The Spaniard eventually won 4-6, 6-0, 6-3, 6-2 in 2 hours and 40 minutes, recovering brilliantly after Faria took the first set. Alcaraz raised his level dramatically, taking complete control from the second set onwards and booking his place in the third round. A shaky start, then vintage Alcaraz
\nFaria came out fearless and took advantage of some early errors from Alcaraz. The defending champion admitted afterwards that he was trying to force things too much, understandable after returning to Grand Slam competition following a lengthy injury layoff. But the response was impressive.<\/p>\n

Alcaraz completely changed the momentum in the second set, racing through it 6-0. His shot-making became more aggressive, his movement improved and Faria suddenly found himself under constant pressure. From there, Alcaraz never looked back.<\/p>\n

The victory also improved his remarkable US Open record to 26-3. He will meet China\u2019s Yibing Wu in the third round.
\nThe biggest positive for Alcaraz wasn’t simply winning \u2014 it was the way he responded when the match became difficult.<\/p>\n
