- Carlos Alcaraz said he changed his US Open outfit after his sleeveless shirt exposed a nipple during earlier matches.
- The 23-year-old Spanish player said the decision was personal and intended to make him feel more comfortable, not a demand from his main sponsor.
Carlos Alcaraz joked that he had shown too much of his nipples at the US Open after adding a second shirt to his outfit.
I think I showed too much nipple
"I think I showed too much nipple," the 23-year-old Spanish player said with a laugh at a news conference. He said he felt he could hide them for at least a month or a month and a half, adding, "Hopefully they won't come out again."
Hopefully they won't come out again
Alcaraz attracted attention during his return from a persistent wrist injury, but his clothing also became a focus. He had worn a sleeveless brown shirt created through Nike's Cactus Jack collaboration with artist Travis Scott. The cut did not fully cover his torso, and one nipple became visible during matches. ESPN later circulated video of the moment.
No, it was my decision. It was my decision
Alcaraz rejected the suggestion that his main sports sponsor had required him to wear a more covering outfit. "No, it was my decision. It was my decision," he said. He added that he would not mind playing in the original outfit again, but said, "if we can avoid it, I think it's better."
