Alcaraz Surprises with New Look at the US Open<\/h2>\n\nOne 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.\n\nAlcaraz, 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.\n\nThe 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.\n\nGolf star Rory McIlroy, upon seeing Alcaraz, did not hesitate to approach him to touch his head and ask him about the change.\n\n\n

\u201cI just got a haircut I was struggling with. I had to start again,\u201d Alcaraz explained to McIlroy.<\/p>Carlos Alcaraz<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nMcIlroy, after examining the new cut, praised it. However, the opinion of his colleague and friend, the American tennis player Frances Tiafoe, was different.\n\nTiafoe, after winning his first-round match, approached Alcaraz and, visibly surprised, called the cut “horrible”.\n\n\n

\u201cIt’s terrible. It’s definitely terrible. But it’s my guy,\u201d Tiafoe joked. \u201cIt’s funny, I looked at him and thought, ‘I guess you’re aerodynamic now’\u201d.<\/p>Frances Tiafoe<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nTiafoe added, with humor, that Alcaraz should seek his advice for future haircuts.\n\nDescription of the publication:<\/strong> The US Open shared a video of Alcaraz sporting his new haircut on the training courts. The video shows the reactions of McIlroy and Tiafoe.\n\nDescription of the publication:<\/strong> The US Open published another video with more reactions about Alcaraz’s new look.\n\nAlcaraz 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.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
