Newswire From a news agency Context piece
  • Carlos Alcaraz said he will keep his current haircut throughout his participation in the US Open in New York.
  • The world No. 3 previously won the tournament with a shaved head after an accidental mistake during a haircut by his brother Álvaro.
  • Alcaraz said he usually keeps a hairstyle once he starts a major competition.

Carlos Alcaraz will keep his current hairstyle throughout this year’s US Open, ruling out a repeat of the shaved-head look that became a talking point at last year’s tournament.

The Spanish world No. 3 told reporters in New York that he would leave his hair long for the rest of the competition. “During the tournament I’m definitely going to leave it long. After that, I don’t know,” he said.

During the tournament I’m definitely going to leave it long. After that, I don’t know.

— Carlos AlcarazHe described his plan for his hairstyle during the US Open.

Alcaraz explained that he tends to stick with his habits once a major event begins. “Once I start with a hairstyle or something, I suppose I have to keep it until the tournament ends,” he said.

His buzz cut last year did not reflect a superstition or a deliberate fashion choice. His brother Álvaro made a mistake while cutting his hair, and Alcaraz had to use clippers to repair the uneven patch. He went on to win the US Open with the shaved style.

Once I start with a hairstyle or something, I suppose I have to keep it until the tournament ends.

— Carlos AlcarazHe explained why he will maintain his current haircut throughout the competition.
