Alcaraz Surprises with New Look at the US Open
One of the most talked-about news stories on the second day of the US Open was not precisely a match, but a makeover of tennis player Carlos Alcaraz. Alcaraz, known for his style on the court, appeared with a radically different haircut: a shaved head. This change generated mixed reactions and quickly went viral. The Spanish tennis player, who used to sport his usual haircut in the US Open previews, surprised everyone by showing up on the practice courts with a new look. Golf star Rory McIlroy, upon seeing Alcaraz, did not hesitate to approach him to touch his head and ask him about the change.McIlroy, after examining the new cut, praised it. However, the opinion of his colleague and friend, the American tennis player Frances Tiafoe, was different. Tiafoe, after winning his first-round match, approached Alcaraz and, visibly surprised, called the cut “horrible”.“I just got a haircut I was struggling with. I had to start again,” Alcaraz explained to McIlroy.

Alcaraz faced American Reilly Opelka in the first round of the tournament. If Tiafoe’s analysis is correct, the Spanish tennis player could be even faster on the court with his new haircut.“It’s terrible. It’s definitely terrible. But it’s my guy,” Tiafoe joked. “It’s funny, I looked at him and thought, ‘I guess you’re aerodynamic now’”.
