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 a fresh cut for the 2025 US Open. The 22-year-old Spaniard arrived in Queens on Monday with a dramatic haircut, sporting a buzzcut rather than the longer look he has worn for years, including last week at the Cincinnati Open.

Frances Tiafoe on Carlos Alcaraz's new haircut: "It's definitely terrible… that's my guy though." “At the end of the day, it’s Carlos, and that’s my guy. But yeah, he needs to get with me. He needs to get with me for sure.”
