There is nothing Carlos Alcaraz can do to make himself look bad. He has proven capable of making any style work on or off the court. Alcaraz is known for being the more lighthearted and playful player compared to the buttoned-up Jannik Sinner, against whom he is constantly compared.

After impressing in a 6-4 7-5 6-4 victory, Alcaraz quizzed the crowd on his new look, earning loud cheers when he said: "I've got to ask to the people if they like the new haircut or not. Do you like it guys? I think they like it."

Carlos Alcaraz has showed up at the U.S. Open for his first-round match with a shaved head. Alcaraz, who is seeded No. 2 at Flushing Meadows, caused a bit of a buzz with his buzz cut when he got to the tournament grounds before beating Reilly Opelka in straight sets at Arthur Ashe Stadium on Monday.
