Carlos Alcaraz has made good on his promise of a bold new look after his US Open triumph.
The Spaniard, who reclaimed the No. 1 ranking with his victory over Jannik Sinner in the final, revealed a dramatic platinum blond buzzcut this week.
His hair saga started in New York, when his older brother Alvaro accidentally botched a trim before the tournament. The only fix was to shave it all off—leaving Alcaraz with an uneven buzzcut that drew plenty of fan chatter and a few memorable reactions, including a hilarious one from Frances Tiafoe.

But Alcaraz brushed it off and breezed through the draw without dropping a set on his way to the final. The 22-year-old, who usually celebrates his Grand Slam wins by getting a new tattoo inked, announced that there would be a different celebration in store this year.
“Even better,” Alcaraz told press with a grin, when asked if he planned to keep the buzzcut after winning the US Open. “Even better. You will see. You will see. Surprise, surprise!”
