Carlos Alcaraz has unveiled a striking new buzz cut ahead of the 2025 US Open, sparking curiosity among fans about his bold change of style. The Spaniard, known for his energetic presence on court, explained that the haircut was done to feel refreshed and focused before the season’s final Grand Slam.
Alcaraz will open his US Open campaign on Monday night against American Reilly Opelka, aiming for a second career title in New York. The Spaniard first triumphed at Flushing Meadows in 2022 at just 19 years old, a breakthrough that cemented him as one of the sport’s brightest stars.
Last year, however, Alcaraz suffered a surprising second-round exit, cutting short his title defense. He returns this time with renewed momentum, having captured the French Open earlier in the summer and reaching the Wimbledon final. Those results, combined with his proven record on hard courts, have again made him one of the clear favorites to contend for the trophy.
In addition to his form, Alcaraz’s fresh buzz cut has generated plenty of chatter among fans. Whether style or substance makes the bigger impact, all eyes will be on him Monday night.
Alcaraz explained that he chose the new haircut after he struggled with the previous style and decided it was time for a fresh start. A video of the change has since gone viral across social media.
With six singles titles and a 54-6 match record, Alcaraz enters the US Open ranked No. 2 in the world. The Spanish star is targeting to reclaim the title he won in 2022 while aiming to halt Jannik Sinner’s bid for a repeat triumph in New York.
