Alcaraz keeps his promise and radically changes his look
A fan of hair changes, Alcaraz surprised his fans with a brand new haircut during his debut at the US Open.
However, the native of El Palmar explained that this initiative (shaved head) was a default choice, as his brother had messed it up with the clippers. Amused by the situation, the Spaniard then promised a change if he won at Flushing Meadows.
And now it's done—the 22-year-old player has gone blond, with a photo posted by his personal hairdresser, Victor Barber: "This guy keeps his word! World number one again and with a new look! We're going crazy!" he said on his Instagram account.
On the sports side, Alcaraz has decided to skip the Davis Cup and will go straight to the Laver Cup (September 19-21).
