Carlos Alcaraz has debuted a fresh appearance with a striking change in hair color shortly after securing another US Open victory in New York, reclaiming the top spot in the rankings. The Spanish player overcame his previous defeat at Wimbledon and defeated Jannik Sinner in four sets at Flushing Meadows to clinch his second Grand Slam title of the year and his sixth overall. During his American campaign, Alcaraz sported a buzzcut hairstyle but has now opted for a new look with platinum bleached hair, courtesy of his trusted barber Victor in his hometown of Murcia, Spain, which he proudly showcased on social media.
Alcaraz had hinted at a hair transformation when discussing his celebration plans, teasing a surprise for fans. The 22-year-old’s hair had been a topic of discussion throughout the US Open, with Alcaraz revealing that his brother had attempted to salvage a haircut mishap with clippers.
Despite the hair drama, Alcaraz dominated the tournament, only dropping a set in the final against Novak Djokovic. He continued his winning streak by defeating Sinner, whom he had previously conquered in the French Open final. Alcaraz expressed satisfaction with his performance, highlighting his peak form and unwavering focus during the competition.
Following his victory, Alcaraz and Sinner have now collectively won the last eight Grand Slam titles, with each player securing four victories. The duo has also met in three of the four finals held this season, with Alcaraz humorously noting the frequency of their matchups. As Europe and the USA gear up for another showdown in New York, the tennis world celebrates these emerging legends and their remarkable achievements.
