My brother messed up with the clippers," Alcaraz on his new haircut
During his match against Opelka at the US Open (6-4, 7-5, 6-4), Alcaraz surprised everyone with his completely shaved head. An unusual haircut for the Spaniard, which sparked a lot of reactions on social media.
When asked about it in a press conference, the native of El Palmar shared that his usual barber, Victor, couldn't make the trip. As a result, his brother Alvaro had to step in:
"It's very different, it's true. I felt like my hair was already very long. And before the tournament, I said I really wanted to get it cut. New York was too far for Victor, so I asked my brother to do it. But suddenly, he messed up with the clippers. He had already started, so we had to shave it all off. To be honest, it's not great… but it's not that bad."
Fans weren't the only ones to react, as one of his colleagues on the tour, Tiafoe, also shared his thoughts in the press area: "It's horrible, he's my friend but it's really horrible.
