Carlos Alcaraz Debuts Blonde Hair After US Open Win

Carlos Alcaraz, the 22-year-old World No. 1 tennis player, has made headlines not only for winning the 2025 US Open but also for his dramatic hairstyle changes. Initially forced to shave his head due to a haircut mishap by his brother, Alcaraz sported a buzz cut throughout the tournament, which he credited with giving him momentum and good luck as he avenged his Wimbledon loss by defeating Jannik Sinner in the final. Shortly after his US Open victory, Alcaraz unveiled a bold new platinum blond hairstyle, crafted by his trusted Spanish barber Víctor Martínez, known for daring and unconventional cuts. The new look has sparked mixed reactions on social media, with some fans and fellow players criticizing the transformation, while Alcaraz maintains a lighthearted attitude and embraces the diverse opinions. Martínez, who has gained Alcaraz's trust over time, dismissed the criticism as part of the fun in their bold style choices. Alcaraz's willingness to experiment with his appearance reflects his confident and youthful personality as he continues to make waves both on and off the court.
